– International Men’s Day – an annual calendar event:

International Men’s Day on the 19 November was founded in 1999 by Dr Jerome Teelucksingh a history lecturer at University of the West Indies in Trinidad Tabago. Interestingly calls for an International Men’s Day (IMD) have been going on since at least the 1960’s when it was reported in the New York Times, Feb 24 1969 that “Many men have been agitating privately to make February 23 International Men’s Day, the equivalent of March 8, which is International Women’s day“ This Day for women was first inaugurated in 1909…

IMD as a global celebration owes a huge debt to Indian Mens Advocate and mother of two Uma Challa. Almost single handedly Uma Challa pioneered the celebration of International Mens Day in India in 2007 not knowing where the date had actually came from but believing in the celebration as a way to expose the shocking abuse that men suffer in the anti male legal system. Uma Challa is the founder of a number of organisations including the famed “Save the Indian Family Foundation” nonprofit based in Bangalore. Arguably Uma Challa was also one of the early instigators for an International Boys Day.

The Indian celebration of IMD is by far the single biggest celebration by any country in the global village. It was Uma Challa who inspired Warwick Marsh the founder of Dads4Kids to take International Mens Day to the world stage and synchronize the celebrations in the disparate mens movement around the world… Read further here.

Objectives of International Men’s Day.com include a global focus on men’s and boy’s health, improving gender relations, promoting gender equality, and highlighting positive male role models. It is an occasion for men to celebrate their achievements and contributions, in particular their contributions to community, family, marriage and child care while highlighting the discrimination against them.
