Each year, around 20 women in Iceland are diagnosed with cervical cancer, and 3–5 women die from the disease.
The driving force behind Lífskraftur is Sirrý Ágústsdóttir, who herself has faced cervical cancer.
“When I was diagnosed, I realized how vital it is to have prevention, support, and solidarity,” Ágústsdóttir said in the statement.
“Through Lífskraftur and this campaign, we want to show that it’s possible to eliminate cervical cancer in Iceland.
