International Mens Day History

International Men’s Day (IMD) seeks to raise awareness about the issues men and boys face. This day aims to acknowledge the achievements of men and celebrate their contributions to their communities. It encourages discussion about the mental health of men and boys and it also works to improve gender relations by aiming for gender equality.

International Men's Day was started in 1991 by professor Thomas Oaster. IMD had been called for since the 1960s, but the small events taking place around the world in countries like the U.S, Canada, and France failed to get much attention. Even Oaster failed in his attempts to promote the event and in 1995, he ceased any plans for future IMDs. It wasn’t until 1999 that history professor Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh would go on to officially establish the day in Trinidad and Tobago. It would gain popularity in several different countries and eventually spread globally with the creation of the website internationalmensday.com. IMD is observed annually on November 19th.

#JohnnyDepp appreciation post: you have been through hell and never gave up exposing the truth. NEVER stop being you! You have helped so many people along the way, speak up about the horrors of DV/SA, and heal from their trauma. We appreciate you! #InternationalMensDay https://t.co/8RVQEB5LRd

Men too deserve to be spoiled, given compliments, told that they are appreciated, that their effort is valued, and made to feel secure. Because men get tired of being strong, holding in the tears, being looked down upon, taken advantage of. We see you 💙💙💙#InternationalMensDay https://t.co/5s8vJS1j5G

International Mens Day Facts

The theme for International Men's Day in 2021 was Better relations between men and women.
International Men's Day owes its growth and success to Indian Men’s Advocate Uma Challa. In 2007, Challa promoted International Men’s Day as a way to expose the shocking abuse that men suffer in the legal system. She has since been a pioneer in raising awareness for the day.
International Men's Day structures its objectives as 6 pillars:
1) To promote positive male role models
2) To celebrate men's positive contributions to society
3) To focus on men's health and wellbeing
4) To highlight discrimination against men
5) To improve gender relations and promote gender equality
6) To create a safer, better world
