Recognising International Men’s Day at Mabanaft

As a continuation of our focus on men’s health during Movember, we want to highlight International Men’s Day today. Celebrated in over 80 countries, this year's theme focuses on ‘Positive Male Role Models’ and raising awareness of men’s well-being.

The 19th of November is an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the values and responsibilities of being a man while encouraging conversations around well-being, values, and challenges. Open discussions can provide a deeper understanding of the unique issues men face, from mental health to social and physical challenges. Keeping concerns bottled up can lead to stress and anxiety, which may affect both personal well-being and the work environment.

Life can be challenging, and men often face difficulties such as violence, abuse, homelessness, inequality, parenting struggles, and mental or physical health issues. These struggles can feel isolating, but it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Sharing your feelings or reaching out for support is not a sign of weakness—it’s an act of strength. At Mabanaft, we are committed to creating a culture where everyone feels supported and valued.

Together, let’s continue to support one another, build stronger connections, and ensure that no one ever feels they have to face challenges alone.
