Soroptimist International Convention 2019 Gynaecological awareness
What an opportunity to share my 25 years of lobbying for community Gynaecological health awareness. Cant say I wasn’t nervous to present to 1,000 women at this Soroptimist International convention however I cannot thank Robyn Cain and the President of Soroptimist International Anusha Santhirasthipam for believing in my work. This then led to an Undies for Better Understanding cardboard cut out undies workshop Dare to be Gynae Aware to South West Pacific Soroptimist Clubs to encourage them to start the conversations.

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.

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/
Gynaecological Awareness Flash Mob photo event
https://www.facebook.com/events/417483699078395/
Flash your undies! ~ A metaphorical flash mob for a photo shoot to raise awareness for the Gynaecological Health Awareness campaign. We’ll be meeting at the giant sculpture at Elizabeth Quay at 2pm.
(and no, you don’t have to actually flash your undies!!)
Kath Mazzella OAM, advocate for GYNae health, is asking for your help to create some excitement and support for GLAM Day – Gynaecological Leadership and Awareness Movement – on 10 September.
So many women suffer from difficult GYNae issues and we want to lift the skirts on the secrecy. From fibroids to endometriosis to polycystic ovarian syndrome to infertility.
If we don’t talk about it then we can’t start to fix it.
We’d love as many people there as possible so please invite all your friends.
Please dress in red, white and/or black.
Even if you can’t make the event we’d love you to click “interested” in the event.
Auspire Sundowner 25 March 2019
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.
