On that day last year, WHO launched Global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem, with a resolution passed by 194 countries. Countries and communities around the world marked this movement with a day of action and the launch of local campaigns. Advocates and survivors played leading roles and shared their stories. They were joined by high-level speakers, representing a broad coalition of partners dedicated to eliminating cervical cancer, and four-time Grammy Award-winning artist Angélique Kidjo. Communities across the globe illuminated the cause, lighting over 100 landmarks in the color teal, the color for cervical cancer elimination (revisit the historic moment).
This November, we’re doing it again!
