International Epilepsy Day is a global awareness initiative led by the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) and the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE)
The day aims to increase understanding of epilepsy, a neurological condition affecting over 50 million people worldwide. It provides a platform to challenge stigma, highlight lived experience, and advocate for better support, treatment, and inclusion.
What International Epilepsy Day Stands For
Awareness and Education: International Epilepsy Day helps the public learn what epilepsy is, dispel myths, and better understand the challenges faced by people living with the condition. The goal is to build awareness that leads to empathy, inclusion, and action.
Global Participation: Events and activities take place worldwide — from school and community events to seminars, media coverage, and social media campaigns that amplify the voices of those living with epilepsy.
By taking part in International Epilepsy Day, you join a worldwide effort to reduce stigma, increase understanding, and support the rights and wellbeing of people with epilepsy everywhere.
