In more than seventy countries worldwide, including Singapore, Australia, India, the UK, the US, Malta, Croatia, Canada and Hungary, International Men's Day is an yearly international event that's celebrated annually on November 19. Initiated in February 7, 1992, by Thomas Oaster, the idea of International Men's Day was formally conceived on February 8, 1991.

The day's observed by everyone from all walks of life, who support the ongoing effort to improve lives, seek solutions to social problems, comfort the troubled, reform the social outcasts and uplift the dysfunctional. Detailed in "The Six Pillars of International Men's Day”, the goals of celebrating this day include focusing on men's and boys' health, improving gender relations, promoting gender equality and highlighting male role models.

It's also an occasion to highlight discrimination against men and boys and to celebrate their achievements and contributions, especially those that benefits their communities, marriages, families and children. The event's broader and ultimate goal is to promote basic humanitarian values.

There are over 80 countries that celebrate men’s day. This is a holiday that occurs every November 19 of every year. There are some people who feel that this is not necessary because men are pretty much dominant in different aspects of society but this is still something that is worth checking out.

This may have been a joke for some people but the more that they learned about this holiday and what it represents, the more that they realize why this holiday is worth it. It should be remembered that the pressure on men to do well is higher. When they do not have any achievements, they will be considered unsuitable to get married and so much more.
