This November 17, 2022, we will mark the second anniversary of a historic movement, celebrating the first time the world committed to eliminate a cancer.
In 2020, the World Health Organization launched the Global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem, with a resolution passed by 194 countries. Led by survivors and advocates, the launch marked the first Cervical Cancer Elimination Day of Action with the initiation of local campaigns and the illumination of over 100 landmarks in the color teal, the color for cervical cancer elimination.
This November 17th, the countdown to elimination continues
Worldwide leaders, survivors, advocates, partners, and stakeholders will call for action to eliminate cervical cancer through dialogue. Together, we will share stories and educational resources to screen, prevent, treat, and ultimately eliminate cervical cancer.
Together, we are reminding the world that everyone can contribute, every community matters, and every country can eliminate cervical cancer.
