We are all heroes in the battle against rabies.
World Rabies Day (WRD) is a pivotal moment for acknowledging the tireless efforts of those fighting to eliminate rabies and for uniting global efforts to raise awareness and save lives. This year, we once again invite you to celebrate the heroes in rabies prevention through the WRD Awards and to join a worldwide movement by registering your WRD events and activities, under the theme of Breaking Rabies Boundaries.
Celebrate Heroes: Nominate for the World Rabies Day Awards
The battle against rabies is driven by passionate individuals and organizations dedicated to saving lives and educating communities. These heroes often work tirelessly behind the scenes, breaking many boundaries daily, and their efforts deserve to be recognized. The World Rabies Day (WRD) Awards are a chance to celebrate those of you who are making a significant impact in rabies prevention and control.
Do you know someone whose work in rabies control has been exceptional? Perhaps a community health worker, a veterinarian, or an educator who has gone above and beyond? By nominating them for a WRD Award, you can help shine a light on their invaluable contributions. Nominations are open now, available in English and French, and we encourage you to take this opportunity to highlight the crucial work being done around the world.
