International Men’s Day observed on November 19 focuses on men’s health, improving gender relations, highlighting male role models, and promoting positive expressions of masculinity.
It is also celebrated the positive value that men bring to their communities, their families, and the world. Being in November brings special significance because it is also the month of “Movember”, an annual event where men grow their mustaches during the entire month to raise awareness of health issues concerning men such as testicular cancer, prostate cancer, etc.
