Every November, you spot moustaches of all shapes and sizes.
This is not a fashion trend but a global movement with a powerful purpose.
Founded in 2003, Movember aims to raise awareness about men’s physical and mental health.
Back then, a group of 30 men in Melbourne, decided to bring back the moustache.
What began as a fun challenge turned into a global reminder that self-care isn’t unmanly, it’s essential.
Globally, men tend to seek medical help less often and die younger than women.
Prostate cancer is rising among younger men, while heart disease remains the top cause of death.
Mental health issues continue to be masked by stigma and social pressure.
Movember uses the moustache as a trigger to start conversations, encourage check-ups.
