Dominica joined the global community in celebrating International Men’s Day on November 19, 2025, under the theme ‘Celebrating Men and Boys.’ This annual event, observed worldwide, aims to acknowledge the positive impact men have on society and to highlight issues related to men’s health and well-being. The concept of International Men’s Day was first proposed in the 1960s but was officially established on November 19, 1999, by Dr. Jerome Tellucksing in Trinidad and Tobago. Dr. Tellucksing selected this date to honor his father’s birthday and to commemorate the unity displayed by the Trinidad and Tobago men’s football team in 1989. In Dominica, the Business Professional Women (BPW) organization marked the occasion by recognizing 19 men for their significant contributions to the community across various fields. An awards ceremony was held to honor these individuals, showcasing their dedication and achievements.
