Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends face a health crisis that isn’t being talked about. Men are dying too young. We cannot afford to stay silent.
Globally, men die on average 5 years earlier than women, and for reasons that are largely preventable. Which means that it does not have to be that way: we can all take action to live healthier, happier and longer lives.
Movember is our time to unite. To take on mental health, suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Come along for the ride as this will only makes you stronger.
The Movember movement was founded in 2003, you helped us start a movement for men’s health. A movement that has since funded over 1,320 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.
