World Hormone Day is an ideal opportunity to reach out to political representatives and seek support for better hormone health policies. To support your policy and advocacy efforts, ESE has developed a policy toolkit with:
- a guide outlining actions you can take at national and regional level
- key messages about why hormones matter to share with policymakers and stakeholders
- a template letter you can adapt for your political representatives
Although designed with World Hormone Day in mind, these resources can be used at any time. While ESE’s efforts focus on Europe, the materials can be adapted for your country or region.
These materials will be updated for World Hormone Day 2026 in due course.
Please keep ESE informed of your activities and let us know if your national politicians support the cause by contacting the ESE Team.
The World Hormone Day Policy Toolkit Guide includes everything you need to help you engage with politicians and policymakers.
This has been created for World Hormone Day, but the suggestions apply any time.
