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://www.kathmazzella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/IGAD-Flier-Kit-Smallest.pdf

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.

Not So Secret Women’s Business

A Cuppa With……..Kath Mazzella

What every rural woman needs to know about women’s health – including how to be armed with information to make smart choices about your own body and how to assist your daughter in managing her health and wellbeing.

Using humour and a personable approach about what has been a historically ‘taboo’ subject, Kath Mazzella will deliver a powerful presentation that you won’t want to miss.

Sharing her own personal journey, Kath will bring to light important women’s health information that could be life changing for you and your family.

About Kath Mazzella

Cancer survivor and advocate on women’s health, Kath Mazzella is a passionate about better awareness and treatment of women’s gynaecological, sexual and related mental health conditions. After her having radical gynaecological surgery to remove cancer, Kath Mazzella discovered how little women knew and talked about conditions “down there”, and how many women were suffering in silence.

This empowered Kath to go on a journey, together with her husband Tony, promoting this very worthwhile and necessary message, extending it beyond the education of women, to also reach the men that surround their worlds. Kath has received over thirteen awards in the area of raising awareness for women’s gynaecological health and in 2009 she was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for her service of the community through raising the profile of gynaecological health. Kath was inducted into the 100 WA [Western Australia] Hall of Fame.

“People probably don’t realise that the woman sitting next to them on the bus, the train, in their office, or at the doctor’s surgery may have some kind of gynaecological, sexual or related mental health condition that she is having to daily manage. They probably don’t realise that it is not only affecting her, but also every person in her immediate circle of influence, and that the cost to the community can be very high, especially if the condition remains undiagnosed or is diagnosed too late”—Kath Mazzella
