2024
The 6th World Gynecologic Oncology Day
In 2024 we rebranded the World Gynecologic Oncology Day logo, we created a new website and designed a more up-to-date and fresh graphics for social media. Do you want to know more about the reasons behind our rebranding? Continue reading here.
The main focus of our 2024 campaign was stigma in gynecologic cancers. Stigma, defined as a set of negative and often unfair beliefs that a society or group of people have, is something that all cancer patients may face. But due to societal and cultural factors, including misogyny or ageism or taboos about discussing reproductive organs, it may be even more frequently endured by patients who have been diagnosed with ovarian, uterine/endometrial, cervical, vaginal or vulvar cancer. We wanted to shed light on stigma and lift the burden of stigma in gyn cancers and help patients worldwide live a more fulfilling life, free of stigma.
The campaign focus was:
- on different gyn cancer symptoms and prevention
- on the importance of early detection
- encouraging women to go for a check-up, understand gyn cancer symptoms, and to dare to ask their doctor about them
- addressing the stigma in gyn cancers, confronting any shame connected to it, and lifting up patients’ voices
"There is no shame in asking the doctor."
