Calls for an International Men's Day had been going on since at least the 1960s when the New York Times reported that: "Many men have been agitating privately to make February 23 International Men's Day, the equivalent of March 8, which is International Women's day."

In conclusion, International Men’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate men’s contributions to society, but also to raise awareness about the challenges that men and boys face. On this International Men’s Day, let us support men to step out of their silence, become their true selves, and promote mutual support in society. It’s an opportunity to raise awareness about the impact of gender norms and stereotypes on men and boys, and to promote a culture of respect, inclusivity, and empathy. International Men’s Day provides a space for men to express their emotions, voices, and identity while raising awareness about the particular challenges that men and boys face.
