Introduction
International Men’s Day is an occasion dedicated to recognising and celebrating men’s positive contributions and experiences in society. It’s a day to foster mateship, highlight the importance of looking out for one another, and share inspiring stories of personal journeys and resilience. The United Nations doesn’t celebrate International Men’s Day, but that doesn’t mean One Nation won’t be hosting two events across the country to celebrate the day. The first event, set in Brisbane’s Victoria Park, offers an exclusive opportunity to celebrate the enduring power of mateship and the remarkable stories of men who have overcome challenges. The second event, in Norwood, Adelaide, features an impressive lineup of speakers and aims to honour men’s contributions to various fields.
