International Men's Day
International Men’s Day celebrates the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. It highlights positive role models and raises awareness of men’s wellbeing.
One of the six pillars of International Men’s Day is to improve gender relations and promote gender equality not only for men but for women too. In this spirit, the theme for 2021 is “Better relations between men and women.”
