World Celebrates International Men’s Day on November 19th.

International Men’s Day on the 19 November was founded in 1999 by Dr Jerome Teelucksingh a history lecturer at University of the West Indies in Trinidad Tabago. It is celebrated in around 80 countries across the world.

As per the official website of International Men’s Day, the demand for a day to celebrate men began around 1960, as an equivalent to International Women’s Day on March 8. The New York Times even reported on February 24, 1969, that “Many men have been agitating privately to make February 23 International Men’s Day.” Finally, after several years of planning, November 19 was finally officiated as International Men’s Day.

People around the world are making proper arrangements for celebrating the day. And #InternationalMensDay is a trending hashtag of the day.
