“The
National Coalition For Men has been a staunch advocate for Men's
Health issues for 35 years and has helped to educate America and the
world about the unique parenting and health issues that Men have. It
continues to move America and the world to examine how it can
effectively and aggressively address Men's Health issues and how it
can and must give boys 'the best possible start in life.' It is only
fitting that this organization is 'kicking off' America's celebration
of 2012 International Men's Day which is being observed under the
theme, 'Helping Men and Boys Live Longer, Happier, Healthier Lives'.
The National Coalition for Men is one of the 'unsung heroes' of the
Global Fatherhood and Men's Issues Movement,”

International Men's Day.
Inaugurated in 1999 in
Trinidad and Tobago by Jerome Teelucksingh, Ph.D., a faculty member
in the History Department of the University of West Indies in
Trinidad and Tobago, International Men's Day shares a 48-hour
partnership with Universal Children's Day which is observed worldwide
on 20th
November of each year and is endorsed by the United Nations. Over 60
nations throughout our global village will observe 2012 International
Men's Day under the theme, “Helping
Men and Boys Live Longer, Happier, Healthier Lives.”
