Today is International Men's Day.

The idea being that it's the day for raising awareness of issues that are related to men - i.e. health issues, father's who can't see their children, etc. Particularly relevant as it's Movember which is all about raising awareness for Prostate Cancer.

As you may know, I've been involved in International Women's Day for many years and I think it's fantastic that this day for men is growing in importance.

Apparently it's been going since 1999 (I didn't know that) and it's recognised by 50 UN countries around the world.
