Accepting that men cry too

Drivetime with Eddie Nestor

Available for over a year

Studies suggest that women cry six times more often than men during the year and many men feel that it's not their place to cry. As we celebrate International Men's Day, men are being encouraged to show vulnerability and accept that men cry too. Nikhwat Marawat’s brother took his life aged 19 and he believes that economic pressures and masculinity prevent men from being in touch with their emotions.
