In recognition of International Men’s Day 2025, there has been a renewed call here for greater appreciation and support for all men in the Montserrat society.
In a radio message under the theme “Celebrating Men and Boys”, Acting Minister for Health, Honourable Dwayne Hixon, said men and boys play vital roles in families, communities, and the nation at large.
Honourable Hixon said men and boys are faced with unique challenges and should be afforded the same respect, empathy, and support as anyone else.
International Men’s day is celebrated on November 19th annually to bring global awareness for many issues that men face, including abuse, homelessness, suicide, and violence.
A special community event has been organized for November 21st, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Little Bay Basketball Stadium.
The event aims to serve as an engaging platform for discussions on topics such as positive role models, managing finances, worklife balance, spiritual and sexual health, and mental health.
