An unexpected success
Launched in 1999 and scheduled for 19 November, the day is now celebrated in more than 60 countries. The initiative is surprising, however, as Western habits are anchored in the “masculine” reading of social issues that are still authoritative in many areas.

Male positive
Reinventing gender relations for the sake of equality, without prejudice to the male or female vision, is the reason for the existence of this day. For the moment, evolution are timid … but it will certainly take time to realize, that man is not a woman like the others!
