International Men`s day celebrated

1. 19TH NOVEMBER MEN'S INTERNATIONAL DAY

2. International Men's Day  ( IMD ) is a global awareness day for many issues that men face, including parental alienation, abuse, homelessness, suicide, and violence, celebrated annually on November 19. The objectives of celebrating an International Men's Day are set out in 'All the Six Pillars of International Men's Day'. [1]  It is also an occasion to celebrate boys' and men's lives, achievements and contributions, in particular for their contributions to nation, union, society, community, family, marriage, and childcare. [2] [3]

3. Inaugurated on 7 February 1992 by Thomas Oaster , [4]  the project of International Men's Day was conceived one year earlier, on 8 February 1991. [5]  The project was re- initialised in 1999 in  Trinidad and Tobago . [6]  The longest running celebration of International Men's Day is  Malta , where events have occurred since 7 February 1994.

4. Early background [ edit ] Calls for an International Men's Day have been noted since at least the 1960s, when many men were reported to "have been agitating privately to make 23 February International Men's Day, the equivalent of 8 March, which is International Women's Day". [
