Aggression and violent behavior are caused by the feeling that a man has to live up to society’s expectations of masculinity which is what makes a good man, and that a man ought to be physically fit, have a large penis, protect himself, and uphold the honor of his family and peers, remain true to his convictions, partake in male-oriented activities like behavior sports and drinking, be sexually virulent, and succeed in everything he sets out to do. In order to overcome these preconceived ideas, this article provided an alternative to inculcate positive masculinity which is the HeforShe approach that supports boys and men in achieving equality by opposing negative gender norms and practices. Individuals around the world are encouraged to come together as equal partners to develop a shared vision of a society that values gender equality and to put that vision into action by putting locally suitable solutions into place. Secondary data analysis was used as the data-gathering instrument. To select suitable studies, an inclusion and exclusion criterion was followed. Only peer-reviewed journals were used and web sources and articles from non-peer-reviewed journals were excluded.

In today’s society, social inequality is a deeply ingrained issue that affects people on multiple levels of identification. Traditional approaches to resolving inequality, on the other hand, frequently fail to take into consideration the intricate ways in which different identities intersect. “Intersectionality,” highlights race, gender, class, and sexual orientation—interact and influence how a person is privileged or marginalised. This approach offers a crucial perspective for appreciating the multifaceted character of socioeconomic inequality. Gaining a greater knowledge of the specific issues faced by individuals at the intersections of several marginalised groups allows us to better grasp how diverse identities interact. A multifaceted strategy is needed to effectively address the intersectional nature of social injustice. This paper proposes that policymakers should make sure that marginalised communities’ perspectives are heard and are actively involved in the decision-making process. Additionally, it is critical to raise awareness and knowledge of intersectionality among a range of stakeholders, such as the public, educators, and legislators. This paper used secondary sources as its technique, and text content analysis was used to derive pertinent insights from the data that were gathered. This paper has four recommendations directed to policymakers on how socioeconomic inequality could be addressed

Amidst a period characterised by swift technological progress, risk management encounters unparalleled obstacles and prospects. The many facets of this paradigm change are examined in this paper. Conventional risk assessment techniques need to change as businesses are revolutionised by technologies like blockchain, IoT, and artificial intelligence. Even though these advances increase production and efficiency, they also bring new vulnerabilities, which means risk profiles need to be reevaluated. Furthermore, cascading risks are made more likely by the growing interconnection of global systems. Cybersecurity becomes critical, necessitating advanced precautions to protect private data. Moreover, new instruments for risk prediction and mitigation are made possible by the combination of machine learning and predictive analytics. The ethical implications of automated decision-making, on the other hand, necessitate careful examination. Organisations must promote adaptability in this volatile terrain by fostering a culture of constant learning and innovation. Navigating these difficulties effectively will define an enterprise’s resilience and durability in a digitally driven future. This chapter explores the implications of risk management in the era of technological advancements and how those risks could be mitigated. The methodology employed in this chapter was secondary sources, and the gathered data was evaluated using text content to generate key insights.
