November 19, 2013 is International Mens Day! This holiday focuses on improving mens health, promoting gender equality, and highlighting positive male role models. The origin of International Men’s Day can be traced back to the 1960s, but the first official celebration did not occur until 1999. Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh conceived and coordinated the event in Port of Spain, the capital of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. He promoted the importance of male role models and eventually received written support from the United Nations. Today, over 60 countries recognize this event. Celebrations of International Mens Day include marches, debates, panel discussions, public seminars, art displays, and much more.
