Celebrating Men and Boys

International Mens Day

On November 19, International Men’s Day celebrates worldwide the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. We highlight positive role models and raise awareness of men’s well-being. Our theme for 2025 is “Celebrating Men and Boys”.

Watch this historic International Mens Day Webcast, hear from many notable leaders in the men’s movement. They will be sharing their wisdom, real stories, challenges, and solutions for supporting men and boys from all around the globe!

GET INVOLVED

We provide suggestions on how you can celebrate International Men’s Day, and how to get your local community and council involved to create a community event and or a special award ceremony.

The month of November is important for the masculine soul because it gathers several events that are important to men. Movember is the month we focus on raising money for men’s health. Men’s Equality Month is a full month that we focus on achieving equal treatment and care for men and boys. On November 20, we celebrate International Children’s Day, which then forms 48 hours of celebration for men and children, and the special relationship they share.

So we have plenty of reasons to celebrate International Men’s Day. We invite you to check out our fact sheet on how to run a community event for International Men’s Day. Feel free to use the International Men’s Day Logo or adapt the IMD logo into your own language, as the French have done. 

You might like to thank some men who are positive male role models in your community and use our IMD Appreciation Award certificates. You can download our posters and other resources here.

International Men’s Day encourages men to teach the boys in their lives the values, character and responsibilities of being a man. Mahatma Gandhi said, “We must become the change we seek.” It is only when we all, both men and women, lead by example that we will create a fair and safe society that allows everyone the opportunity to prosper.

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.
