📢 Why WCW Matters
Conditions like bladder weakness and faecal incontinence affect over 400 million people worldwide—more than hay fever—yet stigma, silence, and misinformation continue to prevent many from seeking help. World Continence Week is about breaking those barriers, providing reliable resources, and amplifying the voices of those living with these conditions.
🤝 Your Role Is Vital
Now it’s your turn. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, patient advocate, industry partner, or concerned citizen—your involvement makes all the difference. Organise events, share resources, and help make WCW2025 the most impactful yet.
