International Boys Day offers a time to show appreciation for and celebrate the strengths and joys that go along with being a boy – not in competition with girls, but in tandem with them. The theme for the International Day of the Boy Child 2025 is “Building Self-esteem in Boys: Stand Up, Be Heard, Be Seen.”
All children deserve to be happy, healthy, and valued in their families and communities.
One hope for the day is that boys can be raised in homes and communities that will overcome various harmful influences of society, such as the need for machiosm and bravado. Instead International Boys’ Day encourages teaching and modelling for boys values that include honor and integrity, so that they can contribute to their families and society, making the world a better place for both boys and girls.
This day aims to promote awareness, support, and empowerment for boys to reach their full potential. This day also encourages us to challenge traditional gender stereotypes and biases that can limit boys’ emotional expression, academic achievement, and social development. By promoting positive masculinity and gender equality, we can help boys develop into confident, empathetic, and responsible individuals.
To all the incredible boys out there; your feelings matter, your mental health is important, and it’s okay to talk and seek support✨️
