Sign now on http://www.cervicalcancerpetition.eu/ to prevent cervical cancer in Europe. We need 1 million signatures by 22nd January 2008 for the European Parliament to consider the issue.

Every year over 50,000 women develop and 25,000 women die from cervical cancer in Europe when we already know that organised prevention programmes could prevent almost every case. However, the startling fact is that the majority of women in Europe do not have access to these programmes.

Cervical cancer is unique in that it could be virtually eliminated in Europe through organised prevention programmes but only a handful of European countries have these. This situation needs to be changed now so that all European women have equal access to proper protection against this disease.
