International Men’s Day 2025: Celebrate the Men Who Inspire and Support Us

International Men’s Day, observed every year on November 19, is a day to honour the men who make meaningful contributions to families, communities, and workplaces. Beyond recognition, it aims to highlight men’s health, mental well-being, and the social challenges they face, from stress to societal expectations.

The theme for 2025, “Celebrating Men and Boys,” emphasises uplifting positive male role models and promoting happier, healthier lives for men and boys everywhere. It encourages society to recognise the invaluable contributions men make while fostering empathy, equality, and supportive conversations.

The day was first celebrated in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago by Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, who chose November 19 to coincide with his father’s birthday and a notable date in the country’s football history. Today, it has grown into a global observance, recognised in over 80 countries, serving as a platform to celebrate men who inspire, protect, and support those around them.

International Men’s Day 2025 is an opportunity to express gratitude to fathers, brothers, friends, mentors, and colleagues. It is also a reminder to celebrate men who lead with courage, compassion, and integrity, challenging harmful stereotypes and showing that strength and sensitivity can coexist.
