At our awareness stand at the Gornja Radgona market, we will share new materials about gynaecological cancers, prevention, HPV vaccination and possible signs and symptoms, as well as information for women facing diagnosis and treatment. 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”). It is one of 22 activities across Slovenia bringing information closer to women and helping break the stigma around gynaecological cancers.
