International Day of the Boy Child

International Day of the Boy Child is celebrated on May 16th each year. The day recognizes the importance of boys' well-being and the challenges they face, while also celebrating the positive aspects they bring to their communities and families. Unlike International Day of the Girl Child, International Day of the Boy Child is not officially recognized by the UN. In the UK, the day is marked by the annual Festival of the Boy, launched by psychologist Lee Chambers in 2026. Wikipedia
