International Gynaecological Awareness Day Media release.
Celebration
International Gynaecological Awareness Day Progress
After our meeting on 12th July 2018 with the President of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and the Vice-President of Global Health to discuss their support of the International Gynaecological Awareness Day (IGAD) campaign. I am more than elated to say they have agreed to celebrate IGAD.
A short history: Jeanette Preston (UK Founder of Pants Cancers) and myself as cancer survivors visited the college in 2008 to seek support for IGAD which was the planted seed to see this day come to fruition. So I encourage others to join in the campaign to help share greater education and acceptance as said by the President that Gynaecological Health should not be TABOO. Thanking all those who have supported in the past.

https://www.rcog.org.uk/en/blog/gynaecological-health-should-not-be-taboo/ I was elated to see the President of RCOG London speaking out about the tabooness surrounding Gynaecological health. I can see through the International Gynaecological Awareness Day 10 September 10 annually can truly help break down the barriers and stigmas and help education in the global society .

Thanks to Patricia Hamilton and her team. It was great to have the opportunity to share our GYN Health knowledge and to listen to some of the devastating stories especially young women enduring Polycystic ovaries and Endometriosis and many searching for answers and suffering in silence. This only re-iterates the prime need for the International Gynaecological Awareness Day celebrations to not only give voice to these women, create a greater community education and support and most of all greater funding and research. I encourage you to plan your event and help promote your business though the Gynae Awareness day 2018
