📢BCNA gets the seal of approval from Mark Butler MP
This week BCNA’s Director of Policy, Advocacy and Support Services, Vicki Durston, will speak at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in New York, to amplify the voices of those affected by breast cancer.
Why does this matter ❓ Breast cancer wasn’t mentioned in the UN’s global health draft declaration until BCNA advocated to change that. What happens in these global discussions impacts your care, research funding, and access to treatments here in Australia.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide, and rates are rising. Your voices are powerful, BCNA’s network and lived experience have made a real difference on the world stage, influencing governments and health policies.
Breast cancer isn’t done yet and neither are we. Together, we’ll continue advocating for improved outcomes for those affected by breast cancer. 💪💗
