International Men’s Day 2024: Men have long been considered the sole breadwinners in many communities, a role that is sometimes burdened with stress and obligations. While providing financial security is a source of satisfaction for many men, the pressure to always achieve and repress vulnerabilities frequently hinders them from seeking help or expressing their emotions, creating negative preconceptions about masculinity.
International Men’s Day, observed annually on November 19, honours the males in our lives. This day encourages us to recognize men's contributions to society while raising awareness about concerns affecting their well-being. It also seeks to challenge misconceptions and promote discussions about men’s roles and responsibilities in creating a more inclusive and balanced environment. This year, International Men's Day falls on Tuesday. This year’s theme is “Positive Male Role Models,” emphasizing the significance of encouraging open discussions about men's mental health and providing supportive situations in which men can thrive.
Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, a history professor, organized the first International Men's Day in Trinidad in 1999. His idea was to establish a day to honour men’s accomplishments and efforts while also addressing key concerns such as male health, gender-based violence, and the value of healthy male role models. The day earned global recognition as a venue for addressing men’s concerns, promoting strong male role models, and improving gender relations.
International Men's Day provides an opportunity to cultivate a society that values all genders equally, promotes men's overall well-being, and establishes mutual respect and understanding. By recognizing this day, we help to create a world in which men feel seen, heard, and supported. Send these heartfelt wishes and messages to your husbands, boyfriends, male best friends, and colleagues to show how much you care about them.
