Shout Out UK

Big news! 📢 We are incredibly proud to announce that Souvenir Press (Profile Books) has acquired 'Man Enough: How to Protect Boys from Online Misogyny' - written by our very own founder, Matteo Bergamini MBE, and Head of Strategy and Communications, Amelia Fairney 📚

The "manosphere" is a minefield of misinformation that preys on young men’s insecurities and harms women and girls. At Shout Out UK, we’ve seen firsthand how vital media literacy is in "inoculating" the next generation against toxic narratives.

This book is a culmination of that work, a practical guide for parents to help their sons build emotional resilience, debunk sexist narratives, and foster respectful relationships in a digital world.

As Matteo says: "It’s time to ensure online misogyny is relegated to the dustbin of history."

🗓️ Coming 24th September 2026

We must stop the serious and pervasive harms caused by unsafe and unregulated AI chatbots.

That's why we are just one of many expert organisations calling on the Lords to adopt a new amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill this week that would, for the first time, hold the tech companies criminally liable for their harmful AI products.

The amendment tabled by Baroness Kidron would make it a criminal offence for tech companies not to risk-assess their products before deployment or to take steps to mitigate the risks to UK users from content and design-based harms.

Read the full statement at link in bio and share with your networks.

Let's act now, together, to end the harms caused by chatbots and hold the tech companies to account.

This afternoon, the House of Lords will debate a landmark report from its Communications and Digital Committee - and we are proud to see Shout Out UK’s evidence right at the heart of it.

After years of advocating for better media literacy and our CEO Matteo Bergamini providing oral evidence, many of our core recommendations have been taken up by the Committee. This report is a massive step toward ensuring every citizen has the tools to navigate our complex information environment.

The report’s core recommendations include:
