November marks Movember, a campaign encouraging men to grow moustaches to raise awareness and funds for critical issues in mens health, including prostate cancer and mental health.
- Movember originated in Australia and has grown into a global movement focusing on raising awareness for mens health issues like mental health and various cancers.
- Participants commit to growing a moustache throughout November to spark conversations and educate others about serious health concerns such as testicular cancer and prostate cancer.
- The event aims to create lasting change in attitudes towards mens health, with a particular focus on promoting mental health awareness among men worldwide.
Why It Matters
