This year’s International Men’s Day theme – “Working Together For Men and Boys” – is designed to encourage greater cooperation in addressing issues that affect Men and Boys all over the world such as men’s shorter life expectancy, the high male suicide rate, our collective tolerance of violence against men, and the struggles that boys can face in getting an education and the unique challenges of father-child relationships.

On International Men’s Day – Wednesday, 19 November 2014 – we are inviting people all over the world to host events and initiatives that involve:

• Like-minded people finding ways to work together for Men and Boys
• People from diverse perspectives finding ways to work together for Men and Boys
• People in different countries finding ways to work together for Men and Boys
• And most importantly, Men and Women finding ways to work together for Men and Boys
