It’s interesting to consider why International Men’s Day doesn’t get as much attention as some might expect. For some men, it might be that they feel it’s not as necessary to highlight, given the societal focus on issues affecting women and marginalized groups. Others might not even know when it is or what the day represents, which contributes to a lack of engagement.
Moreover, the conversation around gender often centers on women’s rights, leading some men to feel that celebrations like International Men’s Day could be misconstrued or seen as detracting from those important discussions. It’s worth opening up dialogue about what this day means and how it can be a platform to discuss men’s health, well-being, and the challenges they face, while also being mindful of fostering equality for everyone. What do you think would encourage more men to engage with this day?
