The 2022 Global Handwashing Day theme is “Unite for Universal Hand Hygiene.” This year’s theme calls on all of society to work together as we scale up hand hygiene and reminds us that we be united in our vision for universal access and practice of hand hygiene. No matter your role, you can celebrate Global Handwashing Day.

The logo can only be used in a way that is directly associated with Global Handwashing Day (October 15) and by organizations who are in some way supporting the vision of this day, namely: “to promote a global/local culture of handwashing with soap”. The full guidelines for using the logo are available here.
