Launching Monday, January 6, 2025—Step Against Stigma!
Empowering and amplifying the voice and visibility of people with epilepsy, and those who care for them, is a necessary step in the awareness-raising and advocacy that will be required to ensure we can meet the ambitious global targets set out by the Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and other Neurological Disorders (IGAP).
The goal of IGAP is to reduce the stigma, impact, and burden of neurological disorders and to improve the quality of life of people with neurological disorders, their carers and their families.
Therefore, in the weeks leading up to International Epilepsy Day – our biggest awareness-raising day of the year – we are calling on everyone to join us on our epilepsy journey, and take a step against stigma!
The #50MillionSteps campaign has gained incredible momentum since its launch. In the five years since it began, over 900,000,000 steps have been taken! The number of steps achieved in 2024 far exceeded our goals and expectations.
In 2025, we're aiming even higher!
More steps. More awareness. More lives improved.
But we can only reach this goal with your support.
Help us to raise awareness of epilepsy stigma by walking 50,000,000 steps—one step for each person living with epilepsy—ahead of International Epilepsy Day, 10 February 2025.
