Line 40: [[Justine Greening]] replaced [[Nicky Morgan]] as both [[Secretary of State for Education]] and Minister for Women and Equalities when [[Theresa May]] was appointed Prime Minister on 13 July 2016. Morgan initially held the title of Minister for Women after the resignation of [[Maria Miller]] in April 2014, in conjunction with being [[Financial Secretary to the Treasury]], whilst the Equalities brief was given to [[Sajid Javid]] who had replaced Miller as [[Secretary of State for Culture]]. While the Women and Equalities briefs were recombined in July 2014, the responsibility for marriage equality was assigned to [[Nick Boles]], who held the title of Minister of State for Skills, Enterprise and Equalities and had a base in both the Education and Business departments. Both splits in responsibilities were due to Nicky Morgan having voted against the legalisation of gay marriage.<ref>{{cite news\|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/jul/15/equalities-minister-voted-against-gay-marriage-nicky-morgan\|title=Nicky Morgan's gay-marriage stance causes equalities role confusion... again\|work=The Guardian\|first=Rowena\|last=Mason\|date=15 July 2014\|access-date=17 July 2014}}</ref> In 2004, [[Christopher James, 5th Baron Northbourne\|Lord Northbourne]] called for the creation of a [[minister for men]].<ref>{{Cite news\|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/bbc_parliament/3522631.stm\|title=FHM: For Him Minister?\|publisher=BBC News Online\|date=3 March 2004\|access-date=28 January 2013}}</ref> This call was repeated by [[Nick Fletcher (politician)\|Nick Fletcher]] in September 2023, to deal with issues such as reducing male suicide, improving paternity rights and tackling misogyny.<ref>{{cite news\|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sunak-urged-to-appoint-minister-for-men-to-improve-society-fcfmmmw76\|title=Sunak urged to appoint minister for men\|publisher=The Times\|date=6 September 2023\|access-date=7 September 2023}}</ref> A [[Council of Europe]] report<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://pace.coe.int/en/files/29418/html#_TOC_d19e701\|title=Combating rising hate against LGBTI people in Europe\|date=17 December 2021\|access-date=2023-09-07}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=https://pace.coe.int/en/news/8431/committee-highlights-rise-in-hatred-against-lgbti-people\|title=Committee highlights rise in hatred against LGBTI people\|date=23 September 2021\|access-date=7 September 2023}}</ref> in September 2021 criticised the Minister for Equalities, stating that rhetoric from the minister is in contradiction with international human rights standards and has contributed to a sharp increase in transphobic crimes since 2015.
