For generations, men have been told to “man up,” to shoulder burdens in silence, and to find their worth in providing and protecting. Yet while society champions fairness and equality, the struggles of men and boys remain largely invisible—or dismissed altogether.
In this bold and eye-opening book, Dr. Henry Asigri Abugri challenges the one-sided narrative of gender discourse. Drawing on personal experience, research, and real-world examples, he uncovers the silent crises facing men: declining educational outcomes for boys, mental health struggles hidden behind stoicism, the heavy expectations of provision, biases in family courts, and the growing crisis of fatherhood.
Unheard and Overlooked is not an attack on women’s progress, but a call for balance—a reminder that true equality can only exist when we listen to the unheard and recognize the overlooked. Honest, thought-provoking, and unapologetically direct, this book dares to start the conversation that society has long avoided:
Men, too, need to be seen, valued, and supported.
