More than 25 million citizens in the European Union are facing fertility issues today with male factor infertility occurring in circa 40% of all infertile couples.
The European Fertility Week 2021 will put the spotlight on male infertility and the mental health burden associated with it.
The topic of male infertility is a big taboo in our society and men are often left outside the discussion about their own sexual and reproductive health. Furthermore, availability of and access to fertility screenings and treatment for men differs significantly across European countries.
During the week of November 1-7, we would like to invite you to join our campaign to “Challenge the Odds” of male infertility by supporting the European Fertility Week activities across Europe and advocating for equal access to care for all!
Whether you have a minute or more time to spare, every little action taken together can have a big impact!
Read about our online event “Male (In)fertility – challenge the odds. Raising awareness of fertility issues and ensuring equitable access to fertility care across Europe for all” which was held on 3 November at 13:00 CET
