The world has committed to eliminate cervical cancer. 194 countries collectively resolved to end suffering from a cancer that is both preventable and curable following @DrTedros call to action in 2018.

Cervical cancer remains a disease of inequity, both across the globe and within high income countries with the poorest countries carrying the greatest burden.

Elimination is possible by scale up of the three pillars:
1) 90% girls vaccinated
2) 70% screened twice
3) 90% treated (precancerous & invasive)

Australia has achieved low incidence & mortality of cervical cancer wth national screening & vaccination programs. The focus now must be on addressing longstanding inequities particularly wth Indigenous women.

Achieving elimination for Indigenous women requires a ~75% reduction in incidence. We must demand efforts are led by Indigenous women, communities & organisations.
We have the solutions.

We must listen & learn and urgently address these racialised health inequalities. We have the evidence. We need action.

We have listened and heard from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander womenâs stories about cervical screening in the Screening Matters study. See @tamarabutler thread on findings

We are engaging & working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescents about HPV Vaccination to identify modifiable factors to ensure every youth is protected & has a voice.

We must do more & do better - but elimination is possible. A historical moment for all of humanity in what is possible when we collaborate & innovate. We must not leave anyone behind.

Further work required to ensure Indigenous peopleâs globally are beneficiaries of vaccine, screening & treatment on our terms. Equity must be the driving force to elimination. @tamarabutler @AnnaKapuakore
