November 19th and Raising Awareness
There is shockingly not enough awareness of this day where we get to celebrate and support 50% of the world's population which, in this supposed modern age of equality, is quite frankly shocking. I've included wiki's description and list of the 6 pillars for IMD.
International Men's Day (IMD) is a global awareness day for many issues that men face, including parental alienation, abuse, homelessness, suicide, and violence, celebrated annually on November 19. The objectives of celebrating an International Men's Day are set out in 'All the Six Pillars of International Men's Day'. It is also an occasion to celebrate boys' and men's lives, achievements and contributions, in particular for their contributions to nation, union, society, community, family, marriage, and childcare.
Six pillars:
International Men's Day objectives are given as:
To promote positive male role models; not just movie stars and sports men but everyday, working-class men who are living decent, honest lives.
To celebrate men's positive contributions to society, community, family, marriage, child care, and the environment.
To focus on men's health and wellbeing: social, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
To highlight discrimination against men 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 people can be safe and grow to reach their full potential.
