World Hormone Day 2025

After three years of successfully raising awareness of the importance of good hormone health through European Hormone Day, the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) and the European Hormone and Metabolism Foundation (ESE Foundation) have announced the first World Hormone Day, which will be held on April 24, 2025. It will take place on the same date each year.

World Hormone Day on Apr 24, 2025 will bring together the global endocrine community to promote awareness of the need of maintaining optimal hormone health. Under the hashtag #BecauseHormonesMatter, we’ll discuss the little efforts that everyone can take to enhance hormone health, both personally and in our communities.

Hormones are vital to good health and general well-being. They govern our development, growth, metabolism, fertility and cognitive processes. People also may not realise the role hormones play in both prevalent and rare chronic diseases, including cancer. World Hormone Day is a chance to put hormones in the spotlight.”

The 2025 campaign has two primary goals. The first goal is to create public knowledge about the importance of excellent hormone health, with a focus on the little measures that we can all do to achieve it. The second goal is to increase national political engagement with policymakers, who can create the framework for improved endocrine disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

ESE is developing toolkits with materials to facilitate these tasks. This comprises materials in 19 languages to help awareness-raising activities, including as infographics, posters, movies, and social media graphics about “Why Hormones Matter” and “10 Recommendations for Good Hormone Health”.

Participants can select the themes and activities that are most important to their community while rallying around the #BecauseHormonesMatter message.
