- International Men’s Day (IMD) is celebrated every year and is marked in around 80 countries worldwide.
- 1. International Men’s Day focuses on improving gender relations, promoting gender equality, producing responsible males and highlighting positive male role models. It also looks at addressing issues such as parenting, positive male role models, families and healthy life choices for men.
- 2. The inaugural International Men’s Day was held in Trinidad and Tobago on November 19 in 1999. Representatives from organisations such as the UN expressed support for the event, although it is not an official UN observance. A petition has called for the UN to make International Men’s Day an official UN observance in the interest of equality. International Women’s Day is also celebrated on March 8 each year.
