International Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Day takes place on 9th September each year. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of alcohol consumption during pregnancy and the resulting spectrum of disorders that can affect children for life. It aims to educate the public and healthcare providers about the risks associated with prenatal alcohol exposure and to advocate for preventative measures.
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) encompass a range of physical, mental, behavioural, and learning disabilities that can occur when a foetus is exposed to alcohol. FASD is entirely preventable by abstaining from alcohol during pregnancy, yet it remains one of the leading causes of developmental disorders in children. The day focuses on spreading the message that no amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy and that raising awareness can prevent lifelong challenges for children.
