So I read about this campaign online and instantly fell in love with it. It's such a great campaign.
What its All about.
The Lady Garden campaign is to raise awareness for Gynaecological cancer. With the slogan ‘silent no more'. I think this is a great campaign because so many women are uncomfortable talking about their 'lady bits' and so Gynaecological problems go unnoticed. These problems are knows as 'silent killers'. The Gynaecological cancer fund have designed the 'Lady Garden' jumper (now available in topshop £28) to raise funds and awareness of gynaecological problems and to let women know it's ok to talk about there 'downstairs area'.
Gynaecological cancer fund " Our mission is to empower women everywhere to talk more openly – without shyness or shame "
They also what us women to band together and take over social media with the with the #LADYGARDENCAMPAIGN
Basically all you have to do is write in big letters what you call your 'lady garden' and post it some where,whether it be Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Just get it out there. Change the future or female cancer.
Get talking about your VAGINA.
You can also donate £5 to the fund by texting LADYGARDEN to 70755
100% of your donation goes to the fund.
Here are some statistics:
1/3 of women between 16 and 35 are embarrassed to tell the doctor about gynaecological problems.
65% of women feel uncomfortable using the word vagina.
Information taken from http://ladygardencampaign.co.uk
Gynaecological cancer is usually treatable when discovered soon enough. However most women don't know what to look for.
Here are 7 common symptoms women should know about.
So come on get involved make these cancers SILENT NO MORE !
