International Women with Epilepsy Day (IWWED)
This International Women with Epilepsy Day (IWWED), we honor Strength—and invest in Change.
Women with epilepsy lead, create, and make history every day, yet many still face barriers to healthcare, education, employment, and understanding. Today, we come together to change that.
Approximately 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy. It has also been said that 1 in 52 females with develop Epilepsy but is this true? We are starting a campaign called "1 in 52, Is This True?" Our goal is to inspire 100 people to commit to donating $26 a month for one year, creating sustained support that drives real, lasting impact for women with epilepsy.
Your support helps fund:
- Advocacy and research for women’s health and equity
- Scholarships for education for women living with epilepsy
- Sponsorships that amplify women’s voices and leadership
When you give, you’re not just donating—you’re standing with women who continue to rise, thrive, and lead beyond seizures.
💜 Join us. Support her Strength. Fuel her Future.
