I FEEL THE WORLD 8 men. The Courage to speak. Bravery to open up. Power to be real. I FEEL THE WORLD FROM A YOUNG AGE, MOST MEN FEEL PUSHED TO CONFORM TO THE SOCIAL STANDARDS: BE STRONG, AND NEVER SHOW ANY WEAKNESSES. THERE IS THE CLICHE THAT ANY MAN SHOWING HIS FEELINGS MAKES HIM VULNERABLE. MEN GET USED TO HIDING THEIR FEELINGS. MEN GET USED TO PLAYING THIS HARD-STONE ROLE. BUT BE HONEST, BE REAL — THAT IS THE POWER! TO BE BRAVE TO SPEAK UP, NOT TO HIDE, TO OPEN UP, AND NOT BE AFRAID OF OPINIONS — THAT IS THE REAL STRENGTH!” ALL OF US ARE DIFFERENT. BUT ALL OF US HAVE FEELINGS, AND IT’S TIME TO TALK ABOUT THEM. Anna Afanasieva Sacer UN Migration, IOM Egypt
