What is International Men’s Day and when is it celebrated

The 19th of November marks International Men's Day, a day to celebrate the men who make a difference in our lives whether it's your father, husband or a close friend. It's a special occasion to honour their achievements and show appreciation for all they do.

Why does Men's day matter?

International Men's Day is an important reminder to highlight the positive contributions men make to their families, work, society, but it is also to bring awareness to the importance of men's mental health and well being.

The day has six official pillars: promoting positive male role models, celebrating men's contributions to family and society, focusing on men's health and wellbeing, highlighting discrimination against men, improving gender relations, and creating a safer, better world for everyone.

Breaking stereotypes

International Men's day is also about highlighting the expectations that are often placed on men. Men are expected to be strong and avoid showing emotion because it is a sign of weakness. Men's day aims to change this by breaking stereotypes.

By creating a healthier and more balanced environment, men can feel free to share their problems and understand that vulnerability is also a form of strength.

Create positive male role models

This day gives us the chance to reflect on the importance of having positive male role models who can guide the nect generation toward a better society and future. So let's make the men in our lives feel extra special this November and show our appreciation with a thoughtful gift.
