ONEMabanaft Supports Movember: Growing Awareness, Growing Support for Men’s Health

This November, ONEMabanaft proudly joins millions worldwide to recognise Movember—a month dedicated to raising awareness and support for men’s health. For us, Movember is more than just a campaign; it’s a reminder of the often silent struggles men face regarding their physical and emotional health.

Men’s health encompasses so much more than what’s visible on the surface. In addition to physical challenges, mental and emotional health concerns affect men everywhere, yet many struggle alone, burdened by stigma and societal expectations. High rates of mental health issues, suicide, and life-threatening illnesses like prostate and testicular cancers disproportionately affect men. Unfortunately, these are issues that too often go unspoken.

Movember began in 2003 as a movement encouraging men to grow moustaches in November to spark conversations and reduce the stigma around men’s health. What started as a campaign focused on prostate cancer has grown into a global movement supporting testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Movember’s goal is to help men live happier, healthier, and longer lives by funding critical health projects, encouraging preventative care, and breaking down the social stigmas that prevent many men from seeking the help they need.

At ONEMabanaft, we believe that by supporting Movember, we are making a commitment to the men in our offices, communities, families, and our lives. Whether it’s through encouraging regular health screenings, sparking conversations about mental health, or simply checking in on a friend, every small gesture can create change. This month, we want to open the door to these vital conversations and help end the silence around men’s health.

Together, let’s work towards a future where men’s health is prioritised, supported, and celebrated year-round. Join us in this important journey, because every conversation and every action brings us one step closer to a healthier future for men everywhere.
