International Men’s Day is an annual international event celebrated every year on 19 November. Inaugurated in 1992 on February by Thomas Oaster, the project of International Men’s Day was conceived one year earlier on 8 February 1991. The project was re-initialised in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago.
As we celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8 to appreciate contribution of women towards humankind, International Men’s Day is celebrated every year to highlights the presence of male role models.
