19th of November: what holiday is celebrated on this day
The 19th of November is celebrated as an international holiday, International Men's Day. The main task of this holiday is to draw attention to the problems of men and boys and to emphasize their role in family and society. It is important to note that International Men's Day is not a substitute for International Women's Day. On the contrary, it complements it, reminding us of the importance of gender equality. On this holiday, it is customary to congratulate fathers, brothers, sons, colleagues, and all men around. Let's not forget about grandfathers!
Traditions and rituals of the holiday
On International Men's Day, men are congratulated, given gifts, and organized festive events. In some countries, for example, in Australia, on this day, it is customary for men to wear a ribbon in the color of the holiday, blue. The purpose is to draw attention to the problems of men and boys. It is also a tradition to hold charity events on this day to raise funds for research on male health problems and to provide assistance to men and boys in crisis situations.
Prohibitions on the holiday
On International Men's Day, it is advisable for men to avoid excessive drinking and arguing with women. It is important to remember that this day is intended to celebrate men and their achievements, not to glorify masculine superiority.
