About the Day

Act now: Eliminate cervical cancer

This moment matters. Every life counts.

This year’s observance, under the theme “Act Now: Eliminate Cervical Cancer,” calls for bold, united action to build on existing progress and accelerate impact toward the 90-70-90 targets by 2030:

• 90% of girls vaccinated against HPV by age 15;
• 70% of women screened with a high-performance test by age 35 and again at 4;
• 90% of women with cervical disease receiving treatment.

Elimination is within reach if we act now, together — ensuring every girl is protected through HPV vaccination and every woman has access to prevention, screening, and care.

How to get involved

Governments act. Youth act. Communities act. Survivors act. Will you?

Action is already happening every day. Across countries and communities, people are driving change in ways that reflect their own stories and strengths — from raising awareness to mobilizing communities and inspiring action that shows the world elimination can’t wait.

You can take part on 17 November in whatever way feels most meaningful — by joining others in your community, sharing your message of support, or pledging One Act for Elimination to help inspire collective action.

Every action — large or small — adds to a growing global movement proving that elimination is possible within our lifetime.
