🎀 A historic day for women’s health at the European Parliament! 🎀

On 15 October, Europa Donna took an important step forward for women’s health by presenting a motion to officially declare 15 October as European Breast Health Day at the European Parliament.

The event, hosted by MEPs Romana Jerković and Nikos Papandreou, brought together leading EU figures and health experts, including President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola and former European Commissioner for Health and past President of Europa Donna Stella Kyriakides, to reaffirm a shared commitment to prevention and equity in breast health.

As Roberta Metsola powerfully stated:
✍ “No one should be left behind simply because of where that woman was born, or what she can afford. That's not the Europe that we work for or the Europe that we believe in. We need to take this message further, outside this room.”

Stella Mastora, President of Europa Donna, echoed this message with an urgent call to action:
💬 “Prevention is an investment, not a cost. We need to invest in a healthier population, and we need to do it now.”

This day marks a milestone in our mission to make breast health a European priority — ensuring that every woman, everywhere, has access to early detection, prevention, screening, and the right to health.

Together, we are shaping a future where prevention saves lives and equity becomes the norm, not the exception. 🌍✨

🎀 Today is Breast Health Day! 🎀

Every 15 October, Europa Donna calls on women across Europe to take time for their health and make breast health a priority. 💗

This year’s message is clear and simple:
✨ Take time for your health – Go get screened. ✨

Breast cancer screening saves lives. Early detection means better outcomes, more treatment options, and a greater chance of recovery. But we also recognise that access to screening programmes is not equal across Europe. While some countries have well-established systems, others still face challenges in implementation and accessibility.

That’s why, this year, we’re not only raising awareness but also taking action. 💪

Later today, at a special event in the European Parliament, Europa Donna will present a motion to officially declare 15 October as European Breast Health Day, promoting health equity through prevention and screening programmes across all European countries. 🌍💕

➡️ Two years ago, Europa Donna launched The Cancer Currency campaign aimed at ensuring that people living with Metastatic Breast Cancer are treated with the same importance as those living with other cancers, and that their lives are counted, their stories understood, and their worth acknowledged.

Through stories, art, and powerful testimonies, this campaign highlighted the urgent need for understanding, support, and action; it came alive on bespoke banknotes featuring the thoughts, dreams, and fears of five European women, all living with MBC.

✨ Today, we look back at its impact - and forward, with renewed commitment, to making sure the voices of people with metastatic breast cancer continue to be heard.

🌸 World Hospice & Palliative Care Day 🌸

Today, on World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, we stand with everyone living with incurable forms of breast cancer — and those who care for them every day.
This year’s theme, “Achieving the Promise: Universal Access to Palliative Care,” reminds us that every person deserves comfort, dignity, and support, no matter their prognosis.

Palliative care offers more than medical relief: it helps manage pain, ease symptoms, and provide emotional and psychological support to patients and their loved ones. It ensures that life, even with cancer, can still hold meaning, peace, and connection.

💗 At the heart of this care are nurses — the compassionate professionals who listen, comfort, and advocate for each patient’s needs. Their presence makes a difference every single day.

Let’s honour their dedication and call for universal access to quality palliative care for everyone living with incurable forms of breast cancer. 🌳

The 2025 edition will spotlight the importance of breast cancer screening, and we’re thrilled to reveal this year’s campaign poster! 🎀

🌍 September 24th - 🌍

Today we want to take the opportunity to highlight the importance of women being aware of their breast density.

Women who undergo screening should be informed if they are found to have dense breasts, as they face:
🔸 Increased risk for developing breast cancer.
🔸 Reduced sensitivity of mammograms, where cancers can be masked by dense tissue.

However, still today, and notwithstanding the clear recommendations of the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) in many countries and regions, providers of mammographies do not inform women about their breast density.

➡️ Women have a civil right to know their breast density.
Every woman deserves transparency and empowerment when it comes to her health.

Looking forward, risk-stratified screening will enable us to personalize breast cancer screening by integrating density with other risk factors, making prevention and detection smarter and fairer.

💬 At Europa Donna, we support risk-stratified, personalised screening and shared decision-making: every woman deserves clear information and access to the best screening methods.

🤝 Let’s work together - healthcare professionals, policymakers, researchers, and advocates - to make this a reality for all women.

Together, we can make care safer, earlier, and stronger. 💖
