Coverage can be customary (as in the case of Mother's or Father's Day) or official, as in the case of International Women's Day. International Men's Day and International Boy's Day have no customary or official coverage, although customary interest is growing. The United Nations officially designated International Men's Day as World Toilet Day after International Men's Day had begun being celebrated.
