On November 19, International Men’s Day celebrates worldwide the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. We highlight positive role models and raise awareness of men’s well-being. Our theme for 2024 is “ZERO MALE SUICIDE”. Together we can stop male suicide.

Helping Men and Boys
Zero Male Suicide

International Men’s Day encourages men to teach the boys in their lives the values, character and responsibilities of being a man. Mahatma Gandhi said, “We must become the change we seek.” It is only when we all, both men and women, lead by example that we will create a fair and safe society that allows everyone the opportunity to prosper.

Happy International Men’s Day from @bandisanjeev,to all men with a heart of gold, as this day belongs to you.

A brave man takes a stand, and the spines of others are constantly strengthened as COURAGE is contagious. You offer your happiness and life for the welfare of your family and loved ones.

Let us celebrate Men’s honour and dignity; they deserve appreciation and value

On the 19th day of Movember 2024 it is good to remind ourselves of the following:

GET SUPPORT

GIVE SUPPORT

GO BEYOND BANTER
Being a man of more words is not about dialing up the banter. It is about carving out space for meaningful chats about the bigger stuff in life. From talking about the kids, the bills, a new job or a setback – the right conversation can make all the difference to a mate who might be struggling.

If we all dig a little deeper, we can help prevent more men from reaching a crisis point.
