The main goal of the action is to attract public attention to women's health. It is known that some cancers, such as cervical cancer (CC), in women can be prevented and even defeated if each of us knows a little more about it. Cervical cancer occurs in more than 58 thousand women in Europe, is the 4th most common localization and prematurely claims more than 24 thousand lives annually. In the Republic of Belarus, 5 women fall ill with cervical cancer every 2 days. But if we pay attention to ourselves, we will be faster than cancer, and it will never occur in 80% women.
