In 1968, an American columnist named John P. Harris composed an article featuring an absence of equilibrium in the Soviet framework, which celebrated International Women’s Day for female workers yet neglected to do the same for their male counterparts.

In the mid-1990s, Thomas Oaster, the head of the Missouri Center for Men’s Studies, welcomed associations in the U.S., Australia, and Malta to hold little International Men’s Day occasions during the month of February. Thomas effectively facilitated these occasions for a long time, yet his 1995 endeavor was ineffectively joined in but Malta continued to participate actively.

In 1999, the day was resuscitated by Jerome Teelucksingh from the University of the West Indies. He understood that despite the fact that there was a day for fathers, there was no day to praise men who didn’t have children, or who were youngsters and teens.

Teelucksingh comprehended the significance of positive male good examples, as his dad had been an incredible model for him, and decided to observe International Men’s Day on November 19 — the day of his dad’s birthday just as the day a neighborhood soccer group had joined his country with their undertakings to meet all requirements for the world cup.

  • Highlight men’s health issues and well-being, including their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.
