Every year on November 19, the world marks International Men’s Day (IMD) — a day dedicated to recognizing the positive contributions men and boys make to families, communities, and society. Beyond celebration, the day encourages open conversations about men’s health, equality, emotional well-being, and the social challenges many men experience.
Wednesday, November 19, 2025
The global theme focuses on uplifting male role models and acknowledging their contributions.
International Men’s Day is an opportunity for people everywhere of goodwill to appreciate and celebrate the men in their lives and the contribution they make to society for the greater good of all.
IMD was founded in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago by Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh. He chose November 19 to honor his father’s birthday and to commemorate a historic football victory that united the nation.
Since then, IMD has expanded to over 80 countries, evolving into a global platform for celebrating male role models and encouraging healthier, more inclusive masculinity.
IMD is built around six key pillars:
Celebrating positive male role models
Highlighting men’s contributions to family, community, and the environment
Improving men’s physical, mental, and emotional health
Raising awareness of inequalities affecting men and boys
Strengthening gender relations and promoting equality
Creating a safer, kinder world where men and boys can thrive
The day shines a light on issues that often fly under the radar: male mental health, suicide rates, stress, emotional vulnerability, fatherhood, and social expectations surrounding masculinity.
Across the world, IMD features:
School and workplace programs
Mental health workshops
Community events and recognition ceremonies
Social campaigns promoting positive masculinity
Online discussions about equal opportunities and well-being
NGOs, educators, and advocacy groups use the day to uplift stories of male resilience and encourage healthier conversations around gender.
International Men’s Day 2025 invites everyone to acknowledge the men and boys who enrich our lives — while also confronting the challenges they face. The day encourages balanced dialogue, emotional support, and a culture that values empathy, respect, and mental well-being for all.
