Why International Boys Day?

Boys worldwide are facing a silent crisis. From education to mental health, mentorship to leadership opportunities, boys are falling behind.

Key Facts:


🔹 Education Crisis: Boys are 30% more likely to drop out of school than girls (UNESCO, 2023)


🔹 Mental Health Risks: Boys face higher suicide rates but receive less emotional support (WHO, 2024)


🔹 Lack of Mentorship: Fatherless homes impact boys’ success—leading to crime, dropout rates & poor life outcomes (U.S. Census, 2023)


🔹 Gender Funding Imbalance: Over $30 billion is invested annually in girls’ empowerment, while boys’ initiatives receive less than $3 billion (World Bank, 2023)

International Boys Day is more than a celebration—it’s a global movement for action.

Mental Health Support: Raise awareness & drive solutions for boys' mental well-being.


Education & Leadership: Promote mentorship, life skills & academic success.


Positive Masculinity: Encourage responsible leadership & community impact.


Policy Change: Advocate for equal support in education & youth development.

Boys matter. Their future matters. Our world depends on it.
