Changing the landscape for women with Gynaecological, Sexual and related Mental Health Issues
#VIVALAVULVA …………
A huge shout out to the organisers and Medical professionals to bring launch this day. As a survivor of a radical vulvectomy 25 years ago I am more than elated about this. I simply don’t want 1 more women to have to endure this without have the knowledge to protect themselves. www.issvd.org/event/vulvar-cancer-awareness-day LET’S KEEP THIS THING MOVING

As recipient of Zonta Women of Achievement Award 2005 and receiving great support from Zonta over the years it was great to see other leaders standing up and sharing the importance of gynaecological health at my presentation at this Zonta dinner, below is their response. I look forward to see progress in the global community.

At our Club dinner on Wednesday night, our guest speaker, Kath Mazzella OAM, spoke on a very interesting topic “Up Front & Personnel” on gynaecological health. Women’s gynaecological health should be discussed as an awareness sake for other women and that we should not be afraid or ashamed to talk about.
You can learn more about her desire to speak up for the millions of voiceless women, the ones who suffer in silence with Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovaries, Fibroids, GYN Cancers, Infertility, Prolapse Uterus, and so many more Gynaecological and Sexual Health conditions through this link: https://www.kathmazzella.com/
Its taboo —— What can we dooo. Open conversations too.
I was so fortunate to find a radio personality who seemed to really hit the nail on the head with this interview about the taboos surrounding Gynaecological health awareness flash mob photo shoot. Photos still not in from photographer. It was great to see those attend to support the cause.
I love turning on lights for those who are ready to receive this message. Thanks Chris for your wonderful open conversations. I hope you gained a lot from it. https://www.fonodio.com/share/wp8zoxm80r7bqjnl/y068w3eq44o3zpa4/eplvjmdp9kjm9x75
It was a fantastic Auspire event last night. The team did an amazing job. Wish to thank them for their support in the past to help me progress with my Gynaecological awareness campaign. It was great to see and hear Alan Joyce presenting and sharing some of his personal life story.
