CLUW Launches Cancer Awareness Project The Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) and the Academy for Educational Development joined forces to coordinate Working Women Reaching Out against Cervical Cancer (Working Women ROCC!), a project aimed at reducing cervical cancer rates among working women, reports Cheryl Eastburn, IAM Women’s Department director. “The project promotes increased screening and annual follow-up for union women and their families,” Eastburn said. The five-year project, funded by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control, will educate union members on the risk factors for cervical cancer and the critical need for regular screening to ensure early diagnosis and screening. Evidence suggests that annual screening rates for cervical cancer saves lives, and knowledge of the risk factors can help women take action to drastically reduce their chances of getting this form of cancer. A majority of women are hearing the message and being screened, but a significant minority are not. “With this grant, we can help change that,” Eastburn said. |
