The Pearl of Wisdom® Campaign to Prevent Cervical Cancer

Almost all cervical cancers could be prevented by effective screening and vaccination but the majority of women do not have access to these programmes. The Pearl of Wisdom Campaign was launched to provide a visible and recognisable symbol that people can wear to demonstrate their support for cervical cancer prevention. In addition, funds raised through the Pearl of Wisdom Campaign go directly to supporting cervical cancer prevention projects including:

  • Developing and distributing educational materials to inform the general public about cervical cancer prevention and encouraging women to take full advantage of the services that are available,
  • Developing educational programmes for healthcare professionals to ensure they are completely up to date on modern methods for cervical cancer prevention,
  • Educating politicians to ensure they understand the benefits of cervical cancer prevention programmes so they prioritise their implementation where they are not available and work to improve participation rates where they are.
