Canberra All Set To Celebrate IGAD 2011
It is with great delight that we received information from Margaret Kalms about an event she has organised in Canberra. Professor Frank Bowden is the special guest speaker. Professor Bowden is the Professor of Medicine at the ANU Medical School and Director of Canberra Sexual Health Centre.
Margaret has organised a cocktail party where all will be spellbound by Belly Dancers.
There is a photography exhibition featuring Margaret’s artwork and is being hosted by the Sexual Health and Family Planning ACT.
The event starts at 7:30pm – 10:00pm and there is also the exhibition running from 12-23 September and open from 9:00am – 5:00pm.
Margaret explores intimate, personal and sensitive issues in emotional and philosophically symbolic terms. Her photographs are confronting, dramatic and surprising, but they are also beautiful and are designed to enhance women’s perception of themselves overcoming significant prejudices and taboos.
Margaret’s art is very suitable to promote IGAD fulfilling one of the aims of IGAD. “To share knowledge and experiences with the community to remove cultural and sexual taboos and build confidence within oneself”. Margaret Kalms is inspired by the underlying confidences that God created women and that all parts of the body are good.

International Gynae Awareness Day – Are you going to get involved?
Hayley Solich, The Creaticians and Kath Mazzella OAM, founder of GAIN and the International Gynae Awareness Day (IGAD), discuss IGAD and issue a heart felt challenge to men and women around the globe.
The Creaticians are very proud to be supporting, Kath Mazzella OAM, for the International Gynae Awareness Day campaign as part of their 2011-2012 community service program. This video was created to heighten the awareness of why the day is so important and to offer an invitation to men and women around the globe to get involved.
Millions of women every year will suffer from a Gynae (Gynecological, Gynaecological) related condition or sexually transmitted infection. This campaign is to heighten the awareness of the risks, symptoms, and treatments so that women have a better chance of survival and the suffering of their families can be diminished.
Please pass on the link to this video to as many as possible to help us in spreading the message across the globe.

Exciting times ahead. Watch this space!

International GYNae Awareness Day Invitation
Christmas with the girls reminds me that…
I had a great time over Christmas with my Daughter and Grand Daughter (who broke her arm 3 days into the holiday) staying over from USA and my son his wife and 8 month old grand daughter (btw they are pregnant again – so soon…).
My other son’s wife (who also have a 2 year old daughter) is due to have her second child on Monday so it was pretty full on around here. Loved every minute of it, but still coming up for air. With all these female offspring I can see I still need to keep on keeping on for the future of GYN awareness. I hope I will have those girls really empowered by the time they grow up.
