International Council for Men and Boys

What International Council for Men and Boys does

The International Council for Men and Boys (ICMB) is a non-governmental advocacy organization founded in 2024 and operating as a DBA subsidiary of the Center for Prosecutor Integrity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland. The organization's stated mission is to advocate for gender equality by addressing twelve documented areas of disadvantage affecting men and boys: education, health, boys' welfare, false allegations, violence, parenting/family court, criminal justice, partner abuse, homelessness, workplace safety, reproductive and adoption rights, and media representation. It has compiled country-specific disparity analyses covering over 50 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Oceania, and uses these to publish press releases, research, and policy recommendations.

ICMB's core outputs are content-driven rather than technology products. Its primary digital offering is the menandboys.net website, which serves as a press room, research repository, and donation portal. The organization also operates the ICMB Podcast, the 'We Are the Media Now' global awareness campaign (launched 2025), and a planned merchandise line. It maintains active social media accounts on X, TikTok, and Facebook, plus an email newsletter distributed through Constant Contact. There are no proprietary software platforms, APIs, or AI/ML systems in operation; the website is built and maintained by a third-party developer (Ecotech).

The organization's revenue model is exclusively donation-based. It accepts tax-deductible contributions via PayPal, credit card, and check, with donations processed through the parent Center for Prosecutor Integrity. There are no priced products, subscription tiers, or earned-revenue services. The organization employs between 1 and 10 people, has no disclosed budget, and reports no revenue figures. Its strategic positioning emphasizes coalition-building with allied organizations, advocacy for the establishment of governmental councils on men and boys issues in various countries, and engagement with United Nations policy frameworks.
