At our awareness stand in Nova Gorica, volunteers in purple T-shirts will share our new materials about gynaecological cancers, prevention, HPV vaccination and possible signs and symptoms. Information will also be available for women already facing the disease and treatment. 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”). It is one of 22 activities across Slovenia raising awareness and helping break stigma.
