Movember is an annual event primarily involving the growing of moustaches during November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.
Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health on a global scale, focusing on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer in men over 45. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among men aged 15-39 years of age. Across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides. The issue of suicide is incredibly complex. But we know this: improving overall mental health and helping men establish better social connections can reduce the risk of suicide.
Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. The Movember organisation funds ground-breaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.
