The role of the Association of European Cancer Leagues is to facilitate the collaboration between cancer leagues throughout Europe and to influence EU and pan-European policies.  The central purpose of ECL is to identify and promote common strategies in cancer control toward achieving health equity in cancer prevention, treatment and services.

The letters, video messages, editorials, and declarations in this dossier express support for improved cervical cancer prevention-screening and vaccination-for women throughout the developing world.

In addition to the documents, the dossier includes the names of over 1,200 individuals, representing nearly 700 organizations, who signed the online Global Call to Stop Cervical Cancer in 2007 and 2008.

UICC members, influential partners and colleagues from the international cervical cancer control community prepared letters in support of improved cervical cancer prevention worldwide. These letters have been compiled in a dossier – a powerful support when making the case with Governments or donors for cervical cancer prevention interventions. These letters were further incorporated into a larger advocacy tool “Evidence of Support for Improved Cervical Cancer Prevention in Developing Countries".
