We all are aware of Women's Day, Children's Day, Mothers day, etc. But most of us probably don't know there is a day for Men too.
We all are aware of Women's Day, Children's Day, Mothers day, etc. But most of us probably don't know there is a day for Men too. The International Men's Day (IMD) which transpires on every November 19, which was initiated in 1992 by Thomas Oaster and was relaunched by a doctor of Trinidad and Tobago Dr Jerome Teelucksingh in 1999.
However, coming to the importance of Men in the day to day life, a man acts as a husband, a father, a friend and put a lot of efforts for the welfare of house, family and the society. So, here is the day to acknowledge the greatness of men in terms of their contributions, sacrifices, and progress made by them.
The Men's day theme for this year (2019) was titled as "Making a Difference for Men and Boys," which focuses on promoting the need to value men and to help them to make practical improvements in health and well-being.
As per the statistics derived from various sources, here are some points related to men's health.
• Probably most of us assume that women have a higher tendency for suicides, but the research says that men have three times higher suicide rate than women
• one out of three men are the victims of domestic violence
• Men have volatile to suffer lung and heart disease and die much earlier than women concerning health issues.
• 65% of men are prone to brain cancer are men.
So we need to address these mental and physical issues to promote improvements in health and well being in men to bring confidence to function with utmost potential.
The most memorable day for men can be celebrated in several ways by having seminars at offices, schools and colleges to promote the day and bring awareness about the health issues that men face as the main objective of the day is to improve men's and boy's health.
We end up here on a funny note, We, as selfless men, do not expect any wishes from others as we enjoy every day as our day. Moreover, we do not need any particular day to celebrate. Anyway, we wish our-self and all men out there a thrilled international men' day.
