About Me

I have been associated with Family Planning Association of India for many years. I sincerely believe that Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights is less spoken about in our country. Talking about issues related to the same is the need of the hour. I want to raise funds for FPA India to make people aware that they can access SRH services at very affordable costs. Awareness about sexual and reproductive rights must also be created.

I support FPA India's cause in the marathon this year, to 'RACE TO ERASE CERVICAL CANCER' .

Appeal

Cervical cancer is the 2 nd leading cause of cancer deaths in women aged 30 to 44 years in India. The Human Papilloma virus (HPV) is the cause of almost all cases of cervical cancer.
Despite cervical cancer being largely preventable with timely vaccination against HPV and regular screening, many remain unaware of these life-saving measures. The high occurrence of cervical cancer and related deaths in India is attributed to low literacy, poor screening, low awareness, social inequality, stigma, and poverty
FPA India leveraged the TMM 2024 platform to launch an impactful campaign titled, " Race to Erase Cervical Cancer" . We continue this fight against cervical cancer in association with TMM 2025, with renewed urgency and commitment, accelerating our efforts to eradicate cervical cancer in India. Building on last year’s work, we are intensifying our efforts to extend our reach and ensure that more people benefit from essential prevention and treatment services.
With your support, we will:

Raise Awareness: Educate communities about cervical cancer and its preventability.
Promote HPV Vaccination: Reduce vaccine hesitancy, support costs towards buying and provisioning of HPV vaccination.
Enhance Screening: Conduct cervical cancer screenings along with treatment and referrals for continuum of care, as indicated
Your donation will make a powerful impact. Help us protect lives and secure futures. Act now to be part of this crucial mission!
