What is Movember?
Movember is one of the most popular men’s health awareness initiatives in the world. Each November, millions of people across the globe grow moustaches, great and small, to raise funds for several men’s health issues.
Since its inception in 2003, Movember has grown each year to the point it is now – the world’s leading charity for men’s health issues. The organisation’s four primary focus areas are:
Mental health
Su***de prevention
Prostate cancer
Testicular cancer
Movember’s aim is to change the approach taken to men’s health and ensure males across the globe have the tools to help improve their health and live longer lives. According to the organisation’s website, men die 4.5 years earlier than women, on average, largely due to preventable causes. (ACA, 2024)
