This November, we’re celebrating the men in our lives! Not only is it the marvellous month of Movember, but also International Men’s Day on 19 November.
International Men’s Day 2021 will be celebrated on 19 November worldwide. The day is an annual observation to throw light on the contribution of men in bringing positive value to the world, their families and communities. On this day, discussions, campaigns, public seminars, etc., are organised to raise awareness of men’s well-being.
You can celebrate International Men’s Day by spending quality time with the men in your life, like your brother, father, boyfriend, by telling them how they enrich the lives of those around them, and by giving them something to show your appreciation.
