World Hepatitis Alliance Activities
World Hepatitis Day 2017
From promoting activities and bringing advocates together to raising
awareness of hepatitis and sharing key campaign messages, social media can
help drastically boost our impact on World Hepatitis Day. This year there are
a number of ways to make the most of social media to mark the day:
#ShowYourFace selfie tool
• Visit www.worldhepatitisday.org and click onto the #ShowYourFace
selfie tool
• Take a selfie or upload your photo and add your own personal I AM
statement
• Your #ShowYourFace selfie will be added to the gallery in the
ELIMINATE HEPATITIS branding
• Share your selfie on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtags
#ShowYourFace and #NOhep

Share graphics on social
media
To help raise awareness of the burden
and impact of viral hepatitis, we have
created infographics and social media
graphics based on the WHO Global
Hepatitis Report, 2017. These are
great to share on social media or even
post them on your website or use at
your events.
Why not publish a short I
AM video? In your video
you could explain why
you are showing your face
and what you are doing to
help eliminate hepatitis.
E.g. “I am showing my face
for World Hepatitis Day
and speaking out for our
community. Together we can
eliminate hepatitis”.
Join the #ShowYourFace Thunderclap
As part of the WHD campaign we have set up a Thunderclap
- a fantastic tool that allows a single message to be mass-
shared at a specific time and date and reach as many people
as possible. Last year our Thunderclap helped us reach
over 14.5 million people and this year we hope to get our
message to an even greater audience. By signing up to the
Thunderclap, a message will be shared via your Facebook
or Twitter on 28 July and you will join the collective voice
on World Hepatitis Day. To create a buzz we’re asking you to
add your support and enc ourage your networks to take part
too!
