The Antigua and Barbuda Workers’ Union (ABWU) is set to commemorate International Men’s Day 2025 with an impactful one-day conference themed “Healthy Men, Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Society.” Scheduled for Wednesday, 19 November 2025, the event will convene men from diverse professional backgrounds across the island to address critical aspects of mental, physical, and personal well-being. This initiative underscores the ABWU’s dedication to fostering holistic development and promoting health and balance among working men. The conference will feature a distinguished panel of experts, including Clinical Psychologist Feona Charles-Richards, Medical Practitioner Dr. Dwayne Thwaites, and Personal Care Professional Octavia Nicholas. Through interactive sessions, participants will delve into topics such as emotional resilience, preventive healthcare, self-care, and personal grooming, all designed to empower men to lead healthier and more confident lives. ABWU General Secretary, Sen. David Massiah, emphasized the event’s dual purpose: celebrating men’s contributions while fostering candid discussions about health, identity, and balance. “Taking care of oneself, both physically and mentally, is an act of strength that benefits individuals, their families, workplaces, and communities,” he stated. The ABWU sees the conference as a pivotal platform to honor men’s roles in the workforce and encourage open dialogue on issues impacting their well-being. By promoting awareness and empowerment, the Union aims to cultivate a culture of balance, respect, and care within workplaces and the broader community.
