Olivia is a feminist leader and she’s using her leadership to lead the charge for continued access to the Pap test. For Olivia, who’s sister’s Pap test saved her life, it’s personal.
“Taking steps to ease our minds and protect our bodies should be a human right for every living being. Right now, women are being put in jeopardy of this by the suggestion of newly proposed guidelines that could eliminate the Pap test, leaving women vulnerable to incomplete testing.
…In the year 2020 it is absolutely unacceptable that people are still taking away our ability to live a healthy, protected life by having access to a Pap test screening. Latina and Black women already have the highest rate of cervical cancer in the U.S, and more than half the women who developed cervical cancer did not have access to screening. These new guidelines will put even more women at risk and we cannot let that happen!
…The Pap test personally saved my sister from cervical cancer, so I know just how necessary it is, and how thankful we all were and are that it was and is required.”
