A WORLD WITHOUT CERVICAL CANCER DEATHS IS POSSIBLE.
The knowledge and technology exist to eliminate cervical cancer with effective, low-cost tools, even in the poorest parts of the world. TogetHER is a global partnership ensuring the elimination of cervical cancer through advocacy, partnership, and knowledge-sharing, enabling equitable access to effective prevention and care.
TogetHER is thrilled to announce that our Cervical Cancer Grants Program is now accepting submissions through Friday, May 30th.
Our process has changed significantly this year as we introduce our new Grant Submission Portal site to manage submissions. TogetHER will no longer accept proposals via email. More details on how to use the Portal can be found within the RFP.
Questions about the RFP can be submitted [email protected] by Friday, May 2nd. Answers to those questions will be posted on our website the following week. We’ll also be discussing the updated process and answering questions in a webinar that will take place on Wednesday, May 7th at 9:00 am EDT. (Click here to register.)
Executive Director Heather White and Co-Founder/Chief Strategy Officer Kathy Vizas were fortunate to attend the 2025 Skoll World Forum, held in Oxford, United Kingdom from April 1-4. Each year, Skoll brings together some of the world’s foremost thought leaders (and DO’ers!) driving social change on critical global issues such as health, education, climate resilience, indigenous rights and other issues of our time.
Dr. White has summarized her Skoll highlights - including an event co-hosted by TogetHER, our great partners, and inspiration from our ongoing work to retire cervical cancer to the history books.
The newest installment in our monthly Voices TogetHER storytelling series features CureCervicalCancer, who are revolutionizing cervical cancer prevention in hard-to-reach areas with their Mobile Health for Mamas program.
This mobile clinic approach brings screening and treatment services to women through trusted community health promoters and offers women the option of self-collection for HPV DNA testing. In just a few short years, the Mobile Health for Mamas program has tested almost 40,000 women, 75% of whom had never been screened before. The program also provided almost 7,500 women with safe, effective treatment for precancerous lesions.
Check out our new video to meet a few of the dedicated health practitioners and advocates making Mobile Health for Mamas possible, as well as women who have benefited from this fantastic program.
After just months of turmoil in global and women’s health in 2025, much of the work we at TogetHER for Health had undertaken in 2024 feels like it took place forever ago.
Amidst the chaos, though, we remain inspired by our vision: a world without cervical cancer deaths.
Click here to revisit our work in 2024. We hope within this summary you’ll find on display the values TogetHER and our partners strive to embody: determination, partnership, and above all, a focus on safeguarding the health of every woman and girl. In this year as well as every other, those values are core to our advocacy, to our support for innovative programs, and to the stories we tell to put a human face on this preventable disease.
As we celebrate both International Women’s Day on March 8th and Women’s History Month throughout March, we take inspiration from the timeless imagery of “Rosie the Riveter,” a symbol of the significant contributions women made to the United States’ wartime effort on the home front during World War II. Rosie’s fierce determination in the face of uncertainty and challenge feels like an appropriate image to share as we contemplate our own global battle against cervical cancer deaths.
We look forward to using our new Rosie image throughout the year as a striking reminder to sustain our collective fight against this preventable cancer, and we invite you to do the same. The image has space for you to place your own logo. Please use it and share with others! Together, we CAN do it!
