International Men's Day

International Men's Day

Der Weltmännertag (Men’s World Day) ist ein Aktionstag, der seit 2001 jährlich am 3. November stattfindet. Dieser soll laut Aussage des Schirmherrn Michail Gorbatschow das Bewusstsein der Männer im gesundheitlichen Bereich erweitern. So liege die männliche Lebenserwartung im Durchschnitt 7 Jahre unter der der Frauen. Neben Männergesundheit sind auch Bundeswehr und Zukunftsperspektiven Themenschwerpunkte. [1]

Ins Leben gerufen wurde der erste Weltmännertag von Andrologen der Universität Wien. Gemeinsam mit der Stadt Wien, der Gorbatschow-Stiftung, Medical Connection und United Nations Office at Vienna (UNOV) wurde er das erste Mal offiziell 2000 in Wien veranstaltet.
