World Atopic Eczema Day Toolkit NOW AVAILABLE
World Atopic Eczema Day is coming up on September 14, and we’re excited to announce that the World Atopic Eczema Day 2026 Toolkit is now live!
This year’s theme, #BreakTheInvisibleBurden, builds on the Skin Diseases Resolution adopted at the 78th World Health Assembly, which recognises skin diseases as a global health policy priority and highlights the often underestimated burden they place on people worldwide.
World Atopic Eczema Day 2026 is an opportunity to raise awareness of the medical, social, emotional, economic, and public health impacts of atopic eczema, while calling for action at national, regional, and global levels. The Resolution also provides a strong framework for patients and patient organisations to advocate for meaningful policy change.
Our new toolkit includes practical resources, campaign ideas, and materials to help your organisation plan impactful awareness and advocacy activities in your community.
Download the toolkit today and start planning your WAED 2026 activities!
2026 Campaign Toolkit
The , co-created with the European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients’ Associations, gives you everything you need to bring your awareness campaign to life.
Inside, you’ll find the 2026 campaign narrative, elevator pitch, key messages, advocacy guidance, and practical tips on engaging policymakers, media, and your community. The toolkit also explores the invisible burden of atopic eczema, the inequalities faced by patients, and how to turn the WHA Skin Diseases Resolution into action.
It also includes ready-to-use resources such as social media cards, template letters, press materials, and customizable campaign assets to help amplify the voices of people living with atopic eczema.

Introducing this year’s social media designs for World Atopic Eczema Day 2026! These social cards are designed to help you raise awareness, spark conversations, and amplify the voices of people living with atopic eczema.
Join the global movement to #BreakTheInvisibleBurden. This campaign aims to shift public and political understanding of atopic eczema from being seen as “just a rash” to being recognised as a serious, life-impacting chronic disease with medical, emotional, social, and financial consequences.
It centers the lived experiences of patients and caregivers while calling for stronger recognition, better care, equitable access to treatment, and meaningful policy action.
