International Men’s Day is celebrated on 19 November every year and is marked in around 80 countries worldwide.

International Men’s Day in Australia is a great opportunity for you to:

• Highlight some of the social issues that men and boys face
• Make a difference for the men and boys in your community
• Celebrate men and boys in all their diversity
• Have some serious fun

This year, International Men’s Day will be held on Sunday 19 November 2023, though many people will hold their activities and celebrations before or after the main event.

While there are huge variety of ways you can mark International Men’s Day, most celebrations share one or more of the following objectives:

• Valuing male role models
• Acknowledging the contribution of men and boys
• Improving male health
• Tackling discrimination and disadvantage
• Fostering positive gender relations
• Making the world a safer place for everyone
