About the Congress

A broader conversation about women’s lives and futures

Women’s health cannot be separated from education, safety, economic opportunity, culture, technology, leadership or public policy. This congress creates a multidisciplinary platform where research and practice can meet across those boundaries.

Participants are invited to present original research, clinical studies, reviews, policy analysis, case studies, community interventions and emerging ideas that contribute to measurable improvements in women’s health, rights, wellbeing and participation.

Women at the centre. Everyone part of the conversation. The congress is dedicated to advancing women’s health, safety, equality, rights and empowerment.

Contribute to the Cause

Extending the congress impact beyond the scientific programme

Alongside scientific exchange, the congress intends to create a voluntary contribution initiative focused on supporting people affected by breast cancer and organisations working in patient support, education, awareness and access to care. Supporters may contribute whether or not they attend the congress.

VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME

Supporting people affected by breast cancer

Delegates, speakers, partners and supporters may choose to make an additional voluntary contribution alongside their participation. The initiative is intended to support verified breast-cancer-related patient support, awareness or care programmes.

Transparency first Contributions should only be collected once the beneficiary organisation, allocation method and reporting arrangements are formally confirmed and published on this website.
Unable to attend the congress? You can still support the cause. Even if you are not attending the conference, you may still choose to make a voluntary contribution in support of breast-cancer-related patient care, awareness and assistance initiatives.
Our Intended Focus

Research, awareness and compassionate support

Patient Support Supporting programmes that assist people and families affected by breast cancer.
Awareness & Education Encouraging education, early awareness and evidence-based health communication.
Community Impact Connecting scientific dialogue with meaningful support beyond the congress venue.
