Purple Awareness at Veter v laseh

22. - 23. 9. 2026
Slovenia

In Ankaran, our awareness stand will be part of Veter v laseh, an event dedicated to health, movement and an active lifestyle. Visitors can learn about gynaecological cancers, prevention, HPV vaccination and possible signs and symptoms. The activity is part of World GO Day and Europa Donna Slovenia’s 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 encourage women to take care of their health and speak openly about gynaecological cancers.

We are actively involved in research and European projects, bringing the patient perspective into research, healthcare and policy. Through our Gynaecological Cancers Section, we support women affected by these cancers and work to break the stigma. We collaborate with healthcare professionals, researchers and decision-makers to improve prevention, early detection, treatment, care and quality of life.
