Around 80 countries will observe International Men's Day on 19 November. The annual theme varies; for 2025, it is 'Celebrating Men and Boys'. Men face numerous challenges, with health being the most urgent issue. This month is also recognised as Movember, dedicated to raising funds for men's health initiatives.
IMD also designates November as Men's Equality Month, focusing on achieving equal treatment and care for men and boys. On 20 November, International Children's Day extends the celebration, honouring the vital bond between men and children.
