NIAW 2023 is April 23rd - April 29th. As a proud partner of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, the Donor Nexus team is gearing up for another impactful week of raising awareness and removing stigmas surrounding infertility. We hope you’ll join us!
What is National Infertility Awareness Week?
National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) is a movement, founded in 1989 by RESOLVE. It is a yearly observance that takes place at the end of April, aiming to bring awareness and understanding to struggles that people may face when seeking help building their family.
A major goal of NIAW is to also appear in the media and influence lawmakers to enforce policies that will make a difference for the infertility community. NIAW also aims to educate the public about the available treatment options, support resources, and advocacy efforts that can help those affected by infertility.
