On May 8, the world comes together to raise awareness of ovarian cancer and drive meaningful change for women everywhere.

Established in 2013 by global ovarian cancer advocacy leaders, World Ovarian Cancer Day is the one day each year dedicated to uniting the international community around a shared goal: improving outcomes for women affected by ovarian cancer.

While the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition advances systemic change year-round, World Ovarian Cancer Day serves as our global awareness and mobilisation platform — bringing visibility, urgency, and collective momentum to the cause.

More than 200 partner organizations — from grassroots advocacy groups to national health bodies — stand together on May 8 to amplify women’s voices and highlight the need for earlier diagnosis, equitable access to care, and greater prioritisation of ovarian cancer worldwide.

Together, our global community expands its reach and impact every year — strengthening awareness, engagement, and action across countries and regions.
