Purple for Women’s Health Kozina

8. - 9. 9. 2026
Slovenia

Kozina will turn purple again, with a tree wrapped in purple creating a visible reminder of gynaecological cancers and women’s health. We will encourage women to recognise possible signs and symptoms and respond to changes in their bodies. The activity is part of our Purple September campaign, with this year’s slogan “Take Care of Your Essential Parts” (“Poskrbi za svoje nepogrešljive kose”). Through 22 activities across Slovenia, we are making gynaecological cancers more visible and encouraging conversations without stigma.

As part of the wider Europa Donna network, we provide information and support to patients and their families, raise awareness and advocate for patients’ needs and rights. Through our Gynaecological Cancers Section, we provide dedicated support to women affected by these cancers and work to break the stigma surrounding them. We also work with healthcare professionals and decision-makers to improve prevention, early detection, treatment and quality of life.
