World Hemophilia Day 2025 – April 17, 2025 – “Access for all: Women and girls bleed too”

MONTREAL, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On April 17, 2025, the global bleeding disorders community will come together under the theme “Access for all: Women and girls bleed too” and celebrate World Hemophilia Day. Today, women and girls with bleeding disorders (WGBDs) are still underdiagnosed and underserved. The global bleeding disorders community has the power—and the responsibility—to change this. Through recognition, diagnosis, treatment, and care, the quality of life of WGBDS will improve, and the bleeding disorders community will become stronger.

World Hemophilia Day logo with name, April 17 and Recognizing all bleeding disorders

“Recognizing women and girls with bleeding disorders is a significant milestone for our community. In the past, they were often viewed solely as carriers rather than individuals with a bleeding disorder. It is time to fully embrace and acknowledge their experiences and struggles. Prioritizing the diagnosis and treatment of women and girls is crucial, and doing so strengthens our entire bleeding disorder community. Join us on April 17 to show your support for access for all—including women and girls.”

—Cesar Garrido, WFH President

World Hemophilia Day 2025 is a call to action for governments, healthcare providers, and advocates worldwide to close the gaps in care for women and girls with bleeding disorders. These individuals often face delayed diagnoses, limited access to treatment, and a lack of understanding about their unique needs. By working together, we can challenge these inequities and ensure access to comprehensive care for everyone in the bleeding disorders community.

This year’s theme highlights the importance of equity in healthcare, shining a light on the strength, resilience, and contributions of women and girls with bleeding disorders. Through global awareness efforts, we can break the stigma, improve education, and foster better outcomes for all.

World Hemophilia Day is an opportunity for individuals, organizations, and communities to come together and make a difference. Here are some ways to participate:

  • Get social by posting about inherited bleeding disorders and raising awareness on women and girls with bleeding disorders on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram using the #WorldHemophiliaDay, #WHD2025, #WeBleedToo and #LightItUpRed hashtags
  • Support our global advocacy efforts and be a part of what we are building today for future generations by donating here
  • Share your story on the WFH story site about how your quality of life—or the quality of life of someone you know—has changed thanks to receiving a diagnosis, treatment and care on wfh.org/whd
  • Contact your national hemophilia and bleeding disorders association to find out how you and other members can work together on World Hemophilia Day and raise awareness about women and girls with bleeding disorders
  • Download resources like posters and social media banners from wfh.org/whd to help build your World Hemophilia Day Campaign
  • Send pictures, comments, or questions to the WFH at communications@wfh.org

Let’s join hands on April 17, 2025, to ensure that women and girls with bleeding disorders are not left behind. Together, we can create a future where Treatment For All is a reality, and equity, care, and empowerment define the lives of those living with bleeding disorders.

The WFH would like to thank our World Hemophilia Day sponsors for their continued support: Bayer, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., Biotest, CSL Behring, F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd., Grifols, Kedrion, LFB S.A, Novo Nordisk, Octapharma, Pfizer, Regeneron, Sanofi, Sobi, and Takeda.

About hemophilia and other bleeding disorders

In people with bleeding disorders, the blood clotting process doesn’t work properly, with the result that they can bleed for longer than normal, and some people may experience spontaneous bleeding into joints, muscles, or other parts of their bodies which can lead to developmental and permanent mobility issues.

About the World Federation of Hemophilia

The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving and sustaining care for people with inherited bleeding disorders around the world. At the WFH, national member organizations (NMOs) and health care professionals (HCPs) work together to provide care for people with inherited bleeding disorders around the world. We partner with governments and hemophilia treatment centres to enhance knowledge through training and provide tools they need to identify, support and treat people living with bleeding disorders in their communities, while promoting global advocacy and collaboration to achieve our common goals.

Our vision of Treatment for All is for a world where all people with inherited bleeding disorders have access to care, regardless of their type of bleeding disorder, gender, or where they live. Our mission is to improve and sustain care for people with inherited bleeding disorders around the world.

A Second Trump Term: Will Laos Tilt Toward China?

Trump Stuns With Tariff Backtrack but Punishes China
This combination of pictures created on April 09, 2025 shows, L-R, Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on February 6, 2025 and US President Donald Trump in Washington, DC on April 8, 2025. (Photo by Andres MARTINEZ CASARES and SAUL LOEB / various sources / AFP)

Analysis by Anoulak Kittikhoun, a Laotian political scientist, international relations and water diplomacy expert, originally published on Carnegie Endowment for International Peace website.

Under Donald Trump’s current leadership, the United States’ foreign policy has adopted an “America first” stance that emphasizes nationalistic trade policies, anti-war military posturing, and disengagement in multilateral cooperation. 

These policies have significant implications for Southeast Asia, including Laos. However, while Trump’s approach may increase Laos’ engagement with China, it will not fundamentally alter Laos’ relations with China or the United States. 

This is because Laos has always navigated shifting geopolitical realities and pursued a foreign policy of neutrality (though left-leaning) and a careful balance of power; sympathizing with traditional friends (Vietnam, China, Russia, and Cambodia) while being friendly with its neighbors (Thailand and other ASEAN countries), as well as key powers and partners (the United States, Japan, Australia, India, and European nations) while avoiding superpower conflicts. 

Laos’ geography makes it of special interest for the great powers, past and present. During the Cold War, Laos was a key battleground between the United States, the Soviet Union, and China. Laos was not always aligned with China; however, especially during the Sino-Soviet split and China’s military action against Vietnam in 1979, following Vietnam’s deinstallation of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. 

As for relations with the United States, despite being “the most bombed country on earth” courtesy of America during the Vietnam War, Laos never severed diplomatic ties with the United States. When the Cold War wound down, Laos prioritized improving ties with China (its giant neighbor up north) as well as with the United States (the remaining superpower) and others.  

Today, on the economic front, China outperforms the United States on trade and investments in Laos. Laos’ trade with China accounted for USD 8.23 billion in 2024, making China one of the country’s top trade partners. China exported ($3.68 billion) machinery, electronics, and consumer goods to Laos, while Laos exported (USD 4.56 billion) agricultural products (bananas, rubbers, casavas), minerals, and natural resources to China. China’s investment in Laos has also been substantial, as much as USD 10 billion in 2021 and fluctuating between USD 1 to 2 billion in 2023 to 2024, particularly in mining, hydropower, and infrastructure development (for example, the flagship Laos-China Railway under BRI). 

Despite high levels of investment and trade with China, Laos has significant commercial relationships with two other countries in the region, especially Thailand (USD 8.5 billion) and Vietnam (USD 2 billion). While U.S.-Laos trade is smaller, it is a growing sector of the relationship, and the United States is becoming an important market for Laos exports, such as coffee and garments. The total volume of two-way trade stands at USD 844 million, with a U.S. trade deficit of USD 763 million in 2024. Despite being a small country, Trump has gone after Laos with a significant 48 percent tariff rate. 

These tariffs, pitched as “reciprocal,” were calculated nonsensically. It remains to be seen what the next moves are, but ASEAN, a 670 million population market and the fifth largest global economy, should negotiate as a bloc. Otherwise, ASEAN risks leaving smaller economies behind like Laos, and could further create divisions within the economic bloc. In contrast, China has a zero-tariff policy with Laos since December 2024, promising a further increase in Laos exports to China.  

While Trump’s anti-war rhetoric around his administration’s efforts to end the wars in Gaza and Ukraine has been derided as insincere, “transactional,” a “reversal of core U.S. policy,” and “an abandonment of democratic values” by his opponents at home and traditional American allies abroad, it has been quietly appreciated by Laos and other likeminded countries who know all too well the impacts of American-led military (mis)adventures globally for the past eighty years. 

While Trump’s America First policy may lead to Europe rearming, his non-commitment to defend Taiwan (compared to Biden’s pledge to defend Taiwan while being ambiguous about Taiwanese independence) and perhaps the Philippines in the case of a conflict with China in the South China Sea has the potential to lessen the risks of conflict in Asia’s two hotspots.  

The United States has traditionally been a strong leader in supporting and using multilateral cooperation initiatives in the region such as ASEAN and the Mekong River Commission (MRC) to advance regional stability (for example, managing the influence of China, including its Mekong-Lancang Cooperation mechanism), economic integration, and sustainable development, all previously seen as American interests. 

As an active member of both ASEAN and MRC, Laos sees these platforms as key to its regional diplomacy and leadership in the region. Thus, Laos is anxious about Trump’s narrow view of American interests. During Trump’s first term, Trump had little engagement with ASEAN (he skipped most ASEAN summits during his first term), and now, the termination of a USAID grant worth USD 5 million for the MRC portends a future without serious U.S. multilateral engagement in the region. 

And while Trump will not necessarily push Laos and others to the Chinese camp, his signals will certainly make these countries recalibrate and seek to increase cooperation with other powers such as Japan, Australia, India, and European nations, as well as China. 

Laos will especially be interested in working with these nations on water and climate security where the only effective solution is multilateral cooperation.
