Be part of the World ME Day 2024 campaign film<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As we approach World ME Day 2024, WAMES and the World ME Alliance (WMEA) invites you to be a part of a new short film that aims to shed light on the reality of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). <\/strong><\/p>\n

The World Health Organization recognized ME 55 years ago<\/strong>, yet any treatment remains elusive, and millions more are now grappling with the aftermath of ME triggered by COVID-19. This global health crisis demands attention, and we need your voice to make a difference.<\/p>\n

\"\"Take Part<\/strong>
\nSend us a short video of yourself reading out the script below.<\/p>\n

This script has been developed by people with ME across four countries. We\u2019ll join your videos together into one campaign film, to reach others and demonstrate that ME is a truly global health crisis. We\u2019ll then use this to call on individuals, organisations and countries to join together as a #GlobalVoiceForME<\/strong> advocating for change.<\/p>\n

Script for your video<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s 55 years since the World Health Organization officially recognised Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.<\/p>\n

But there is still no cure. No treatments. And millions more are developing ME triggered by COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Today, we estimate 55 million individuals worldwide are living with the debilitating effects of ME.<\/p>\n

We demand recognition, research, and respect.<\/p>\n

I am a [person with ME\/ doctor\/ researcher\/ carer\/ friend\/ advocate\/ family member\/ nurse\/ charity worker etc \u2013 tell us your relation to ME]<\/p>\n

I am from [your country]<\/p>\n

This is a global health crisis.<\/p>\n

Take action with us for World ME Day.<\/p>\n

Together, we are a Global Voice for ME.”<\/p>\n

Severe ME \u2013 alternative participation<\/strong>
\nIf it is difficult or impossible for you to read out a script, we still want you to participate. If you can, please upload a 5 second video of yourself looking directly into the camera. You don\u2019t need to say anything.<\/p>\n

We then aim to include this in the final cut, with subtitles that read \u201cMany are too sick to speak\u201d<\/p>\n
