Mon Nov 18 19:38:16 UTC 2024: ## International Men’s Day 2024 to Focus on Positive Male Role Models
**Mumbai, India – [Date of Publication]** – International Men’s Day will be observed on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, with a focus on “Positive Male Role Models.” The annual event, founded in 1999 by Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, aims to recognize men’s contributions to society and address issues related to men’s health, well-being, and gender equality.
This year’s theme emphasizes the importance of highlighting positive male figures who embody integrity, responsibility, and compassion, inspiring future generations. While the campaign for an International Men’s Day has faced challenges in gaining widespread recognition, the November 19th date has solidified since 2009. The day serves as an opportunity to appreciate the positive impact men have on their families and communities. The announcement comes as the Bombay High Court issued a directive to Maharashtra state authorities to prevent illegal election-related hoardings, a separate matter unrelated to International Men’s Day.
