The theme for International Men\u2019s Day 2023 is \u2018Zero Male Suicide\u2019. Men, the world over, are the biggest victims of suicide. Moreover, in Africa, the stigma towards men\u2019s mental health has led to even more fatalities. In South Africa, as of 2022, incidences of male suicide were five times higher than suicides committed by women.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The third Sunday of every November is International Men\u2019s Day, but the purpose of Men\u2019s Health Month altogether is to heighten awareness of preventable health issues and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. This month gives healthcare providers, public policymakers, the media, and individuals an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury. We want to have open and productive discussions around these and other topics relevant to men, and we will be arranging an International Men\u2019s Day webinar, which both men and women are invited to attend.<\/p>

Look out for more details coming soon.<\/p>
