In Črnomelj, World GO Day will combine awareness, movement and traditional outdoor games. The event will bring people together while opening conversations about gynaecological cancers and women’s health. It 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”). Through 22 activities across Slovenia, we encourage women to learn about prevention, recognise possible signs and symptoms and speak openly about gynaecological cancers.
Organization
Europa Donna Slovenia is a national patient organization dedicated to breast and gynaecological cancers and a member of Europa Donna – The European Breast Cancer Coalition. We provide information and support to patients and families, raise awareness and advocate for patients’ needs and rights. 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.
