Movember takes place every November as a way to raise awareness of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
Statistically, every minute of every day, somewhere in the world, a man dies from suicide.
We won’t accept this. To make change happen, Movember views mental health through a male lens. We focus on early intervention, engaging men and working to their strengths. By 2030, we aim to reduce the rate of male suicide by 25%.
Men with prostate cancer and testicular cancer face an uphill battle before, during and after treatment. But with useful tools and straight-shooting advice, we aim to lighten their load so these men can live life to the fullest.
Globally, men die on average 6 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.
So we’re shining a light on the health risks men need to know about, increasing awareness to stop men dying too young.
What you can do
- Grow – grow a moustache through the month of November to raise awareness and funds for Movember.
- Move – over November run or walk 60km on behalf of the 60 men we lose to suicide every hour across the world.
- Host – throw a Mo-ment event and gather your friends, family or coworkers to raise spirits and funds on behalf of Movember.
