Men's health advocates are marking Movember, when anyone who can grow a moustache is encouraged to do so and raise monies for men's health projects. The Movember movement co-ordinators say "From mental health and suicide prevention to prostate and testicular cancer, Movember is funding lifesaving research, funding prevention-focused programs, and helping men live longer, healthier lives" . Movember started as a bristly idea between mates: grow moustaches, raise some money, and get people talking about men’s health. Today it’s a global movement powered by millions, sparking important conversations and making men’s health impossible to ignore.

LGBTQIA people are encouraged to participate in the movement to improve men's health outcomes. The Movember Movement says "Movember supports all individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual. Health disparities exist, with LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing higher rates of mental health issues and discrimination, often exacerbated by stigma in healthcare. We advocate for the right to self-identify, protection from discrimination, inclusive education, and rights-affirming healthcare, ensuring everyone can lead a healthy, dignified life."
