International Men's Day is significantly less known and celebrated compared to International Women's Day on March 8th, but it’s still an important and recognised day.

But when is it celebrated and why is it celebrated? In this blog we will explore the origins of this day and how to celebrate it.

The origins of International Men’s Day

Men's Day is observed annually on November 19th. The day was inaugurated in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago and has since gained recognition in many countries worldwide.

While International Men's Day is not universally celebrated, its observance has grown in recent years. Events may include conferences, festivals, fundraisers for charities supporting men's (mental) health, and social media campaigns

Men’s Day purpose and focus

While not as widely known or celebrated as International Women's Day, it serves several important purposes, such as:

  • Health awareness: It draws attention to men's health issues and encourages men to seek regular medical check-ups.
  • Positive masculinity: The day promotes constructive male role models and challenges harmful stereotypes about masculinity.
  • Gender equality: It emphasises the importance of gender equality and inclusivity for all.
  • Mental health: It raises awareness about mental health challenges faced by men and boys, including high suicide rates in many countries.

Celebrating the men in your life

Celebrating the men in our lives on International Men's Day can be a meaningful way to show appreciation and support.

Consider taking a moment to acknowledge the positive male figures around you, such as your father, brother, son, friend, colleague or mentor.

Small gestures can make a big impact. You might write a heartfelt note expressing gratitude for their presence in your life, or share a fond memory that highlights their positive influence. Treat them to their favourite meal or activity, whether it's cooking their preferred dish or planning an outing they enjoy.
