Force for Good: Redefining Masculinity - 11 November 2025

This November, as the world observes Men’s Health Awareness Month and marks International Men’s Day on November 19th, The Lunch Break dives into a powerful and timely conversation about what it truly means to be a man in today’s world. Joining Varshan Sookhun is Craig Wilkinson, renowned author, speaker, and founder of Father A Nation. His latest book, “Force for Good: The Power of Healthy Masculinity,” challenges stereotypes and redefines masculinity as a positive force capable of transforming families, communities, and society at large. In this compelling interview, Craig unpacks why the world urgently needs conversations around healthy masculinity, explains why it’s not masculinity itself that’s toxic—but rather the absence of it, and shares practical insights on how men can live with strength, integrity, and compassion. The discussion also touches on gender-based violence, the Six Virtues of Positive Masculinity, and how campaigns like the 16 Days of Activism align with the call for men to rise as forces for good in a changing world. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that celebrates the role of men as nurturers, protectors, and positive influencers — and discover how we can collectively shape a future rooted in respect, purpose, and balance.
