🌍 World Sickle Cell Day | June 19 🔴
💡 on Sickle Cell Disease
Today, on World Sickle Cell Day, we stand in solidarity with millions of individuals and families affected by Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), a genetic blood disorder that still lacks widespread awareness and equitable access to care.
As part of the global movement, landmarks and buildings around the world will glow red to on SCD.
In Australia, the buildings below will in tonight.
This powerful symbol serves as a reminder that awareness can drive action and action can change lives.
🔴 SCD affects over 20 million people globally
🔴 Many face chronic pain, organ damage, and limited treatment options
🔴 Early diagnosis and access to comprehensive care are critical
💬 Let’s keep the conversation going. Share, post, and educate. Advocacy begins with awareness.
To everyone living with SCD — your strength inspires us.
To healthcare providers, caregivers, researchers, and advocates, thank you for your tireless work.
Together, we can push for better treatment, equitable care, and a brighter future.
If you are near any of these buildings, please take a photo and post on social media tagging Australian Sickle Cell Advocacy Inc. Together, we will break the stigma attached to discussing Sickle Cell Disease.
