Canadian Fertility Awareness Week (CFAW)

One Voice

about

The 2024 theme for Canadian Fertility Awareness Week, One Voice, resonates with the collective strength and unity of individuals and communities coming together to advocate for fertility awareness and support. The theme emphasizes the power of standing united as one voice, raising awareness, breaking stigmas, and promoting education surrounding fertility issues and reproductive health. "One Voice" aims to foster a sense of solidarity and empowerment among the 1 in 6 impacted by fertility challenges and those who support them, encouraging them to share their stories and advocate for better access to fertility resources and support.
