Writing and Contributing Articles, News Items and Resources to MHRI
We welcome and encourage submissions from those who wish to help the Men’s Human Rights Movement Ireland group, and present these guidelines to help your chances of being published. There is an emphasis on quality and standards of evidence, as MHRI is an evidence-based organisation.
General Submission Standards.
- If a claim is made in relation to anything of consequence, a source must be cited, and the accuracy and validity of that source should be verified by you.
- Preferentially numerous sources should be cited where possible.
- When criticising a group, the media, or a particular piece of information, it is helpful but not neccessary to have at least one reliable counter source.
- Please keep in mind that while the MHRI is sympathetic, personal grievances likewise need some kind of support - unverifiable accusations cannot be published.
- A bibliography or a reference list, or embedding your references in links are both acceptable ways to provide your references.
Writing Standards
- A reasonable level of writing ability will help a lot when publishing decisions are made, most desktop publishing software comes with a spellchecker as standard at a minimum.
- Please keep an eye out for lenghty paragraphs, if these could be broken up into smaller more useable sections that would be very helpful.
- It would be preferable if articles could be kept under 1500 words, and ideally anywhere between 200 and 1000 words.

MHRI on Classic Hits 4FM
We had a great chat with Niall Boylan there on Classic Hits 4FM about reproductive rights for men in Ireland today - if women can decide not to be mothers, surely men should be able to decide not to be fathers?
Six out of seven suicides were men
In Galway over the course of one week, seven people committed sucide. Six of those were men.
Not All Domestic Violence is Physical
After the recent decision to allow reporters into the family courts, a clearer picture of the kinds of domestic violence men are suffering in Ireland today is beginning to emerge, something that many feel is intrinsically linked to high male suicide rates.
