The 6 Pillars of International Men’s Day:

1. To promote positive male role models, not just movie stars and sportsmen, but everyday, working-class men who are living decent, honest lives.
2. To celebrate men’s positive contributions to society, community, family, marriage, child care, and the environment.
3. To focus on men’s health and wellbeing; social, emotional, physical and spiritual.
4. To highlight discrimination against men, in areas of social services, social attitudes and expectations, and law.
5. To improve gender relations and promote gender equality
6. To create a safer, better world, where people can be safe and grow to reach their full potential.
