              TRINIDAD AND TOGAGO -- Is there a direct correlation between the socialization of the 3.8 billion souls who are males throughout our global village and their greater susceptibility to contracting and dying from COVID-19 than their female counterparts? Will rewriting the narrative on masculinity and strength for Men and Boys help to dramatically improve their collective physical, spiritual, emotional, and psychological health?  What role does poverty, homelessness, intergenerational incarceration, ethnic and religious intolerance, violence, hunger, and spiritual, emotional, and psychological toxicity play in endangering our world’s health and safety?  On Sunday, 1 November 2020, leaders of the  Global Interfaith Community will join individuals, organizations, and institutions throughout our global village in observing the International Day Of Prayer for Men and Boys under the theme, “The World’s Health And Safety”, a component of the International Men’s Day Interfaith Initiative (http://www.usa internationalmensday.blogspot.com).   Leaders of the Global Interfaith Community, individuals, organizations, and institutions will utilize the “International Day Of Prayer for Men and Boys” as a collaborative platform to  identify, design, implement, and support holistic solutions that increase the survival rate for Men and Boys who contract COVID-19; improve the spiritual, psychological, and emotional health of Men and Boys; and create a healthier and safer world by reducing and eradicating  poverty, homelessness, intergenerational incarceration, ethnic and religious intolerance, violence, hunger, and spiritual, emotional, and psychological toxicity. 

          Inaugurated on Sunday, 14 November 2014,  the  International Day of Prayer for Men and Boys, a component of the International Men’s Day Interfaith Initiative, serves as a platform from which the Global Interfaith Community, individuals, organizations, and institutions can collaboratively create a world that is healthy and safe – not just for Men and Boys – but for all souls.  The International Day Of Prayer For Men and Boys is a “Call To Action” to create a spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally vibrant world and to infuse hope and certainty into global communities traumatized by hopelessness and uncertainty.
