Today is International Men’s Day which celebrates the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities.

The day highlights the positive role models and raise awareness of men’s well-being with this year’s theme being “Positive Male Role Models”.

Launched in 1999, and now celebrated in more than 90 countries worldwide, International Men’s Day is going from strength to strength with one of the six pillars of International Men’s Day is to focus on men’s health and wellbeing: social, emotional, physical, and spiritual.

International Men’s Day global digital coordinator Warwick Marsh says positive male role models foster healthy relationships by modelling respect, loving care and constructive communication by encouraging men and boys to form strong, supportive loving connections.
