September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month, and The Eve Appeal wants to raise awareness of all five gynaecological cancers and encourage women to #KnowYourBody and to be aware of the signs and symptoms of the five gynaecological cancers.

As part of the #KnowYourBody campaign, they will be highlighting three key themes:

• The importance of using correct terms about gynae symptoms, cancers and the female body

• Uncovering whether we’re talking to our daughters about gynaecological issues early enough and whether we’re comfortable doing so. Are we equipping young women for the future?

• Getting women to open up about what’s normal for them and address the stigma head on that surrounds gynae issues, encouraging them to have discussions with friends and re-assess what they think is ‘embarrassing’ about their own bodies.
