The Department of Gender Affairs, under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Religious Affairs and Transportation, is set to celebrate International Men’s Day on November 19, 2025, with the inspiring theme “Men and Boys Anchored in Strength, Driven by Purpose,” which emphasizes the importance of resilience and direction in the lives of men and boys. To celebrate this significant occasion, the Department will organize a variety of events aimed at fostering empowerment and connection within the community.
Among the planned activities are Boys Empowerment Sessions, which will take place from November 18 to 20, targeting boys in grades seven through eleven across both private and public schools. These sessions are designed to facilitate mentorship, allowing experienced men to share their insights and wisdom with the younger generation. The goal is to inspire and equip the boys of the Turks and Caicos with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate their futures successfully, thereby contributing positively to society.
The Department encourages women throughout the Turks and Caicos to show their support for men by wearing a tie-on November 19, 2025. This gesture symbolizes solidarity and appreciation for the contributions of men in various spheres of life. Furthermore, individuals and organizations are invited to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of men in their homes, workplaces, and communities. By participating in these initiatives, everyone can play a role in recognizing and uplifting the men who strive to make a difference in the lives of others.
In addition to the official events hosted by the Department, individuals and organizations are encouraged to take part in this celebration by acknowledging the hard work and dedication of men in their own spheres and to express gratitude and recognition for the efforts of men who contribute positively to society. This collective acknowledgment not only uplifts the spirits of men but also reinforces the values of respect and appreciation within our communities.
Activities will culminate with a special Awards Ceremony on November 29, 2025, at the HJ Robinson Auditorium in Grand Turk, honoring men who have made significant contributions to society. The Department warmly invites everyone to participate and come out in support of this meaningful celebration.
Join us in recognizing the strength, purpose, and positive impact of men and boys across the Turks and Caicos Islands as we celebrate International Men’s Day 2025.
