It’s #InternationalMensDay 2025, and this year, in the UK, it’s been a historic year of good news. That’s right, I said it – good news ✨ Good news in the halls of Westminster, behind the door of Number 10, and within schools, workplaces, homes and town halls right across the country. No, International Mens Day is no longer a slur, in fact, 2025 is the biggest year of events yet. More people celebrating, unashamedly, in more places, than ever. We have a new Mens Health Strategy announced, changes to the Crime Survey of England and Wales to recognise male victims, receptions for mens issues at Number 10, debates for men and boys in the Houses of Commons, new think tanks, new bills, new laws, that I never thought I’d see. Already IMD is bigger than it was last year, and next year it’ll bigger again, in what is surely more proof of a slow but steady march toward progress. And no – I am not saying things are “good”, I am saying things can be “bad” and “getting better”, at the same time. So today, there will be no pie charts, diagrams, or tables of misery. No expert testimony that phrases just how f**ked men and boys are in surprising, and brutally terrifying new ways; today, we will talk about the progress we’ve made in just 12 short months, and look forward, to what comes next. So Happy International Men’s Day; here’s to things being bad, but getting better, at the same time. So – what progress do you want to see next year? ~ For a full list of UK events, visit https://ukmensday.org.uk/ #mensday #internationalmensday2025
