Wales Office: International Men's Day

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what plans his Department has to mark International Men's Day on 19 November 2019.

Answer

The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales has no specific plans to mark International Men's Day 2019, but in the UK Government’s Domestic Abuse Bill we propose to create a statutory definition of domestic abuse that makes clear men can also be victims of this abhorrent crime. International Men’s Day also offers an opportunity to talk about work across Government to highlight how outcomes for men and boys can be improved.
