Gynaecological Awareness Day Celebrated on 10 September
As a Gynaecological Cancer survivor and recognizing millions of women with GYN and related mental health issues, I am pleased to say the world is changing.
After 25 years of lobbying as an advocate to create a voice and conversations for global women enduring Gynaecological Health issues the time is now right to celebrate our magnificent bodies and our cycle of life. So now I encourage you to forward this flyer far and wide to use cardboard cut out undies as a tool to promote “Undies for Better Understanding” and create a community groundswell to give women and men greater opportunities to help save lives or life time health complications.
Celebrate the International Gynaecological Awareness Day in your corner of the globe. It’s easy! All you need to do is create a cardboard cut out undies shape and decorate them. Then hang them somewhere prominent and have a conversation with people about gynaecology and related mental health issues.
The conversation could go something like this…
…Happy Gynae Day.
…Do you like my undies?
…Where’s your undies?
…You show me yours and I’ll show you mine (cardboard undies of course)
You could put your undies…
– On the back of a toilet door
– On the work noticeboard
– On the kiosk wall at school
– On the university noticeboard
– On the shopping centre noticeboard
– On the table at the next meeting
– On the work fridge
– On the home fridge
– On the shop window
– On the reading table in waiting rooms
– On your car window
The list is endless.
Business owners…promote your business by obtaining some undies from Kath Mazzella and adding your business information to the back. You can hand out to customers and demonstrate your support of women all around the globe who are living with gynaecological and associated mental health challenges.
Think about it…
Every person, male or female, has a woman in their world somewhere. Guaranteed, that woman will face a gynaecological challenge of some sort at some point in their life. Show her you care by being a listening ear, showing her you have her back and stand with women in their time of need.
If you are an action person – gather people and host an event. Find out more by visiting http://
If you do celebrate, please take a photo of your handiwork and post it on the Undies for Better Understanding Facebook wall or email to kath.mazzella@bigpond.com and we will post them on the website.
Join our event and watch the Facebook live posts on the day.
Zonta Dinner 2019 presentation
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.
Zonta Club of Perth Northern Suburbs Inc
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/
6PR Radio interview with Chris Ilsley – breaking taboos GYN health
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
