Eating Disorders Action Day 2025 Theme: #BreakTheBias & #SupportFamilies
Annually across the globe, June 2nd is “World Eating Disorders Action Day”.
A collective effort led by grassroots activists, volunteers, and over 200 organizations in 45 countries across the globe, organizations and activists will be hosting local live events, broadcast meetings, lighting buildings and landmarks the color purple, and will use social media to take action.
This year we expect even more policy action taken by governments and leaders to ensure caregivers receive support, health care workers and properly trained, and that affected people and families to get immediate, evidence based treatment.
Why is it that #BreakTheBias so important?
- Worldwide, over 70 million people are estimated to be affected by an eating disorder, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and otherwise specified feeding eating disorders (OSFED)
- Eating disorders have the SECOND HIGHEST MORTALITY RATE of any psychiatric illness.
- Eating Disorders affect people of all genders, sexual orientations, ages, socioeconomic class, abilities, races, and ethnic backgrounds. It is time to take action.
- Good news! When treated EARLY and correctly, eating disorders have the highest and fastest recovery rate!
