(Central News Agency reporter Wang Yang-yu, Taipei 8th) Today is World Ovarian Cancer Day. Legislator Chiu Yi-ying of the Democratic Progressive Party, who once suffered from ovarian cancer, today initiated the 'Blue Ribbon Message' campaign, distributing blue ribbons symbolizing attention to ovarian cancer to cross-party legislators, inviting everyone to wear them, encouraging women to undergo regular cancer screenings, and appealing to the public to value women's health.
Chiu Yi-ying and the Taiwan Cancer Foundation launched the 'Blue Ribbon Message' campaign in front of the Legislative Yuan chamber.
Chiu Yi-ying said that early symptoms of ovarian cancer are extremely subtle and it is often called the 'silent killer,' leading many patients to be diagnosed in advanced stages. Therefore, she specifically chose World Ovarian Cancer Day to invite female legislators to wear blue ribbons together, hoping to raise public awareness through this action, encourage women to undergo regular cancer screenings, and love themselves more.
In addition, Chiu Yi-ying also reminded men that in addition to expressing gratitude on Mother's Day, they should actively care about the physical condition of women around them, such as mothers, wives, and daughters, transforming this love into practical health protection.
The Taiwan Cancer Foundation pointed out that compared to other cancers, public discussion about ovarian cancer in Taiwanese society is still insufficient. The foundation hopes to transform the blue ribbon into a symbol of protection through cooperation with social influencers, allowing more people to see the risks and be alerted early, avoiding regret from missing the golden treatment period.
