More about World Fertility Day:
Fertility: It’s About People and Our Future
World Fertility Day is about education, empowerment and understanding. The day will highlight the importance of breaking the silence and taboo that has existed for too long, to realize that we are not alone, to stop living in isolation, to break barriers across cultures, to empower people with fertility knowledge to enable informed decisions to be made on the route to parenthood.
With 1 in 6 couples across the globe experiencing fertility issues and around 48.5 million couples worldwide having unprotected intercourse yet suffering from infertility.
Yet unbelievably this statistic has not as yet broken the taboo of infertility and too many struggle in silence and without any knowledge of what may potentially be causing their issues.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) have now classified infertility as a disease.
Many clinical studies do not even begin to explore infertility until a couple attempt to get pregnant for at least one year according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
At least 30 million men worldwide are infertile with the highest rates in Africa and Eastern Europe. The main message of these findings is that male infertility is a global health issue that has not been researched or studied to truly understand its magnitude and prevalence.
As a society, we must reduce barriers from stigmas associated with infertility due to religious and cultural beliefs. Much work is needed to raise awareness about both female and male infertility.
