YWCA’s “Project GenSHE” is official! The initiative aims to encourage women in Hong Kong to focus on their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, with cervical cancer prevention as the primary focus of its first year. On the morning of March 8, International Women's Day, the Association, in collaboration with the CARE@hkjc Volunteer Team, held flash event in Sham Shui Po and Tai Wai, and distributed a total of 10,000 packs of probiotic samples to women. This not only celebrated International Women's Day but also raised public awareness of women's health.

Research indicates that probiotics help boost the immune system and enhance the body's ability to clear HPV, the primary cause of cervical cancer. It is hoped that the free probiotics samples will encourage women to take the first step towards better well-being. In addition to Sham Shui Po and Tai Wai, the Association also connects with grassroots women in Western District, Shek Kip Mei, Wong Tai Sin, Kwai Fong and Tin Shui Wai through its service centres, ensuring that health information reaches all walks of life.

Apart from sample distribution, “Project GenSHE” has also released survey findings on women’s habits concerning health check-up. In the second half of the year, a series of activities will be organised to strengthen the impact of the campaign, including medical seminars led by professional healthcare personnel, free preliminary health screenings and referral services. Furthermore, the project also plans fitness classes and mind healing workshops to help women release stress from their busy lives and rekindle their passion for life.

YWCA extends its sincere gratitude to all supporting partners of “Project GenSHE”, including honorary sponsors The Hong Kong Jockey Club and Chiron Medical Group, as well as product sponsor Vitagreen. YWCA will continue to collaborate with various sectors of society, and establish a new generation that cares for women's spirit, health and energy.
