International Men's Day was first celebrated in Trinidad and Tobago on November 19, 1999. Other countries probably observe different days, but celebrate? Not yet. This is changing as India and Australia observing International Men's Day on November 19th.

An Australian Non-Governmental Organisation has decided to celebrate International Men's Day on November 19th. Excerpt:

"One of the promoted themes for the celebration of International Men's Day in Australia is honour and sacrifice, a theme that resonates with Aussie men, particularly as this date coincides with a major loss of male lives in the HMAS Sydney naval tragedy.

Having International Men's Day in November also ties in very well with Movember - a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health.'
