Celebrated annually on November 19, International Men’s Day (IMD) was established in 1999 by Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh in Trinidad and Tobago. This global observance aims to promote awareness of men’s health, recognize their contributions to society, and encourage positive male role models.
IMD emphasizes the importance of addressing challenges faced by men, such as mental health issues, stereotypes, and social expectations. It is also a call to action for gender equality, celebrating men’s roles in fostering supportive communities.
In many countries, the day includes activities like educational workshops, public discussions, and charity events. By acknowledging men’s achievements and struggles, IMD fosters understanding, mutual respect, and collaboration in building a balanced and inclusive society.
With growing global participation, November 19 reminds us that honoring men’s contributions strengthens the foundation of our shared humanity.
