Purple Walk & Awareness Stand

20. - 21. 9. 2026
Slovenia

On World GO Day, Ljubljana will turn purple in support of women affected by gynaecological cancers. At our awareness stand on Prešeren Square, visitors can learn about prevention, HPV vaccination, possible signs and symptoms, and support for women facing the disease. At 2 pm, we will set off on a purple walk through Ljubljana. The event is also part of Europa Donna Slovenia’s Purple September campaign, with this year’s slogan “Take Care of Your Essential Parts” (“Poskrbi za svoje nepogrešljive kose”), raising awareness and helping break stigma.
