Caring is Sharing and Getting Involved. On April 17th Landmarks all over the world will be asked to ‘Light It Red’ in honor of Hemophilia Day.
The theme of this year’s event is “Access for All: Prevention of bleeds as the global standard of care.”
You can take part locally and around the world in increasing awareness to control and prevent bleeds. The 2023 theme draws momentum from last year’s World Hemophilia Day. You will find options available to you so that you can easily become involved.
Cesar Garrido, World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) President, speaks with sincerity and strong emotion when he sees a child with a bleeding disorder able to participate in playtime with friends, as well as when he observes the child being able to attend school and generally enjoying a better quality of life. That child has access to proper treatment.
The 2023 Call to Action
The goal this year is to advocate with local governments for better access to treatment. Emphasis should highlight prevention and control of bleeds for people with bleeding disorders. This translates to home-based treatment and prophylactic treatments.
Campaign Materials
A range of logos, posters, and digital materials are available for you online. They can be modified to fit your local campaign needs. You will also be able to download social media graphics and access the WFH toolkit.
You Are Invited to Share Your Story
You may wish to share your story whether it is about someone you know who has been affected by bleeding or your own story. Be sure to read stories submitted by other people in the global community.
