19th November is marked as International Men’s Day as an annual observance that celebrates men and their role in the society. While there are several events about International Women’s Day unfortunately, there is not much talk about the International Men’s Day. This day not only promotes the importance of men in our lives but also celebrates the gender equality, male health and highlighting positive role models.
Supposed by UNESCO, International Men’s Day is observed in over 80 countries. This day also highlights the achievement of men as well as their contribution to the society. The annual observation of International Men’s day was initiated by Thomas Oaster on February 7, 1992. But later, it was revived by Jerome on November 19th to honour his father’s birthday.
