Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs.

About the project

Movember Rated Barbers is a global community of barbers who proactively use the power of the conversations that happen in the barber’s chair to improve the health of men.

Men have indicated a high level of trust in their barbers and many are more likely to have a barber than a doctor. Further, men will often come back to their barber for months or even years on end to get their hair cut just how they like it. We know that many barbers build-up strong relationships with their clients over time, giving them a unique opportunity to help men improve and protect their health. ​

The Movember Rated Barbers program supports barbers, who we know are already having important conversations with men, to provide access to information, tools and resources about men, conversations and the things that matter to a man.
