Today marks International Men's Day 2025, as the world celebrates it on 19 November every year. The day is to celebrate the experiences, struggles, and contributions of men across generations. The day is not merely a celebration but a reminder to recognise issues such as mental health challenges, abuse, homelessness, social pressure, and stigma associated with the expression of vulnerability.
What’s this year’s global theme?
The official theme for International Men's Day 2025 is "Celebrating men and boys”, to “highlight positive role models and raise awareness of men’s well-being.”
The early history behind International Men’s Day
As per a report by the Hindustan Times, International Men's Day was first marked in 1999 by Dr Jerome Teelucksingh in Trinidad and Tobago. He selected 19 November to mark both his father's birthday and a milestone in the nation's football history.
What was once a small initiative now reaches over 80 countries, having grown into a global platform with facilitated discussions on men's wellbeing, fatherhood, leadership, responsibility, and mental health.
