Purple Walk for Well-being Divača

15. - 16. 9. 2026
Slovenia

In Divača, we will walk in purple in support of women affected by gynaecological cancers. An awareness stand and a tree wrapped in purple will make our message even more visible. Visitors will also receive information about prevention, HPV vaccination and possible signs and symptoms. The event is part of our Purple September campaign, with this year’s slogan “Take Care of Your Essential Parts” (“Poskrbi za svoje nepogrešljive kose”). Together, we are showing solidarity with women affected by these cancers and helping break the stigma.
