Overview
- International Men's Day will be observed worldwide on November 19, focusing on the contributions and well-being of men and boys.
- The official theme for 2025, confirmed by the movement’s website, is 'Celebrating Men and Boys'.
- Dads4Kids Fatherhood Foundation, which stewards the official site, plans a nine-hour live program available on the movement’s YouTube channel.
- Organizers emphasize support for men’s physical and mental health, positive role models, and improved gender relations without positioning the day as a rival to International Women’s Day.
- The observance traces its modern inception to 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago under Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, with the November 19 date aligning with International Children's Day on November 20.
