National Infertility Awareness Week

April 23 – 29, 2023

The National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) movement is dedicated to reducing stigma and increasing public awareness about reproductive health and the difficulties many individuals face in building a family. This empowering movement brings together individuals whose lives have been transformed by infertility and helps them to raise their voices and advocate for change.

By participating in NIAW, we can speak out about the challenges and obstacles faced by this community and show our support for those who are struggling to start a family. Infertility can affect anyone regardless of their race, religion, sexuality, or economic status. It is up to us to join the national movement and take action towards removing stigmas and barriers that stand in the way of building families.

Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by infertility and pave the way for a more inclusive and supportive society. Let us stand united during NIAW and continue to promote awareness, education, and understanding of reproductive health issues.
