International Men's Day History: The day was launched in 1992 on 7th February by Thomas Oaster. In 1999, the event was revived by Jerome Teelucksing. He chose 19th November to honour his father's birthday and also to celebrate how on that date in 1989, Trinidad and Tobago's football team had united the country with their endeavours to qualify for the World Cup.

In India, the inaugural celebration of the day was organised by the leading Indian Men's rights organisation, Indian Family on 19th November 2007. Since then, the day has been celebrated every year.
