International Men’s Day is a unique occasion that brings out the importance of celebrating men for the role they play in society and in their basic social units, which are families. It has been set on the 19th of November every year and is an occasion that people use to honor men and discuss some of the issues men usually go through and also fight for their health and equality of men.
For the purpose of the IMD 2024, it has been established that the topic of the celebration is Positive Male Role Models, which underlines such values as honesty, accountability, and kindness. This theme will try to explain the importance of men in different positions, such as being a father, a teacher or a friend, a boss, and others. These are positive ideals, and the purpose of the day is to make young people grow as similarly noble and mature people in the future.
However, besides celebration, International Men’s Day also aims at solving various significant problems that are associated with men. Some of them include Mental health, suicide, LGBTQ equality in the workplace, and negative stereotyping of individuals. The event helps to launch discussions on important issues not discussed in daily conversations for which men are redefining themselves in today’s world.
The positive reinforcement of male role models is extensive and has impacting results in various societies. It not only focuses on the contribution of men in the family and the larger society but also helps the boy and young man to cultivate the right attitude and behavior. This results in forming a culture that helps men to appreciate, be understood, and in turn, be fit to play significant roles in relationships and in society.
On the occasion of International Men’s Day 2024, we should not forget to appreciate all the gentlemen in our lives who are such good examples of those mentioned above. Altogether, it might be possible to fight unfair for men at the same time to create an environment that embraces all individuals appreciating the significance of male contribution to the formation of a better society.
