MRS. MARIE ROKER-JONES DONS LEADERSHIP MANTLE
FOR NEW YORK FOR 2014 INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY
NEW YORK, NY (USA) – 19 September 2014 – The State of New York will be joining states in 80 nations
throughout our global village in observing 2014 International Men’s Day under
the theme, “Working Together For Men and Boys” under the leadership of Mrs.
Marie Roker-Jones. Mrs.
Roker-Jones, an author, Men’s Issues Thought
Leaders, Founder of Raising Great Men™(http://www.goodmenproject.com) and Senior
Editor of Raising Boys for The Good Men Project (www.goodmenproject/author/mrokerjones) has accepted an invitation to serve as the New York (USA) Regional Coordinator for
2014 International Men’s Day.
International Men’s Day will be observed on Wednesday, 19 November
2014. Inaugurated in 1999 by Jerome
Teelucksingh, Ph.D., a Gender Issues Thought Leader, humanitarian,
author, and faculty member in the History Department at the University of
Trinidad and Tobago, International Men’s Day celebrates the sacrifices and
contributions that men make every day to our families, our communities, and
world. It shares a 48-hour partnership
with Universal Children’s Day which is celebrated worldwide on 20 November of
each year and is endorsed by the United Nations.
“Mrs. Roker-Jones is no stranger
to International Men’s Day. In
observance of 2013 International Men’s Day, through Raising Great Men™, she
issued a ‘Call To Action To Women’ to support the emotional and mental
well-being of the boys and men in their lives. In addition to launching
the ‘Call To Women’, Mrs. Roker-Jones and Raising Great Men ™, hosted a ‘safe
space’ for Men on 2013 International Men’s Day – an online ‘space’ that
provided Men – particularly Fathers – with an opportunity to address how they
wanted to be role models for the Next Generation of Men and to discuss the
support they need from the women in their lives in order to be healthy whole
men,” remarked Diane A.
Sears, USA Coordinator for 2014 International Men’s Day and member of the
International Men’s Day Coordination Committee.
Individuals,
institutions, and organizations in New York that are interested in
participating in and raising awareness for 2014 International Men’s Day, should
