from Part Four - Getting to Enough
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 January 2024
The most ardent warriors against cervical cancer are its survivors – even after being ravaged and beaten back by the disease. Imagine what strides would be possible if more of us – including those who’ve never had a brush with the disease – assumed the role of advocate. In fact, you don’t need to be a survivor or doctor or policy consultant to tackle cervical cancer elimination. Opportunities abound for lending your voice and your support toward the cause. Social media is a great starting point for expanding education and awareness about HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening. Other initiatives include advocating for HPV education in school health curriculums; exercising voices and votes for policy change in cervical cancer prevention and treatment; and donating time, energy, or money, either locally, nationally, or internationally, to like-minded organizations and individuals. Eliminating this stealth killer requires innovation and creativity. But no effort is too small; the sum of all of our differences creates a sea change. Cervical cancer survivors inspire us to remember that we are “stronger together,” and that together, we can strike down this preventable cancer.
