Why?
Cervical Cancer Prevention Week is a crucial time to raise awareness about Cervical Cancer and the importance of early detection, vaccination, and screening in saving lives. This week aims to educate individuals about Cervical Health, debunk myths, and encourage proactive steps to prevent Cervical Cancer, which remains one of the most preventable forms of cancer.
This week is a chance to support and empower individuals to take control of their health. It’s also a time to advocate for better access to resources and education around cervical health, ensuring everyone has the information and support they need. By working together as a community, we can break down stigmas, encourage conversations, and make cervical cancer prevention a priority.
We want to ensure all women and people with a cervix know how Cervical Cancer can be prevented. This means:
- Attending cervical screening when invited, cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from Cervical Cancer
- Knowing the symptoms of Cervical Cancer and seeking medical advice if experiencing any
- Taking up the HPV vaccination if aged 11-18
- Knowing where to find support and further information
