2020 INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY:

HEALTHY MINDS AND BODIES

           PHILIPPINES -- 11 April 2020  -- Inaugurated on 19 November 1999, International Men’s Day  through its Global and Regional Coordinators, has facilitated a Global Dialogue on creating a nurturing and empowering world for Men and Boys.  It has also created and supported initiatives which improve the manner in which the world addresses and resolves their unique mental and physical health issues and improves their access to essential tools needed to access real life-options and empower and strengthen their communities.     

          On 19 November 2020, in the post COVID-19 world, we want to encourage institutions, organizations, and individuals to work toward creating the best environment for healthy souls in all nations. In this regard, International Men’s Day will be observed under the theme, “Healthy Minds and Bodies.” We want to focus on improving the physical health of Men and Boys, but we also want to ensure that our Men and Boys experience good spiritual, emotional and psychological health.  

          International Men’s Day celebrates and honors the contributions and sacrifices of Men -- “everyday men”.   Observed in 88 nations, International Men’s Day resonates with Men and Women.  It shares a 48-hour partnership with Universal Children’s Day which is observed on 20th November of each year and is endorsed by the United Nations.    Observance of International Men’s Day places a focus on uniting humanity by providing individuals, organizations, and institutions throughout our global village with an opportunity to help work towards our shared objectives which we apply equally to Men and Boys irrespective of their age, ability, social background, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, religious belief, and relationship status.   

          Those 6 objectives are:  

·         To promote positive male role models; not just movie stars and sportsmen but every day, working class men who are living decent, honest lives.  

·         To celebrate men’s positive contributions to society, community, family, marriage, child care, and to the environment  

·         To focus on men’s health and well-being; social, emotional, physical, and spiritual  

·      To highlight discrimination against males in areas of social services, social attitudes, and expectations, and law  

·         To improve gender relations and promote gender equality 

        To create a safer, better world, where all people can grow and reach their full potential.
