Join us on April 17, 2025, as we come together to celebrate World Hemophilia Day! This global event is dedicated to raising awareness about hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, supporting individuals and families affected by these conditions, and advocating for improved access to care.
This Year's Theme
The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) has chosen "Access for All: Women and Girls Bleed Too" as this year's theme. This powerful message highlights a critical issue in our community:
Today, women and girls with bleeding disorders (WGBDs) are still underdiagnosed and underserved. The global bleeding disorders community has the power—and the responsibility—to change this. Through recognition, diagnosis, treatment, and care, the quality of life of women and girls will improve, and the bleeding disorders community will become stronger.
World Hemophilia Day is an opportunity for our community to learn more about hemophilia and related disorders, share personal stories and experiences, and connect with others who understand the challenges and triumphs of living with these conditions. This year, we especially encourage women and girls to share their experiences and for all community members to advocate for better recognition and care for WGBDs.
