Europa Donna Cyprus holds the 22nd Pink Figures march in Nicosia

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, the non-profit organization Europa Donna Cyprus will host its 22nd annual 'Pink Figures' march in Nicosia. The event, starting at 5:00 PM at the renovated Old GSP Stadium, aims to raise awareness regarding breast cancer prevention, early diagnosis, and the support of those affected by the disease.

This year’s march will feature 1,365 figures, representing an equal number of personal stories and individuals impacted by cancer. The procession will move through the city to conclude at the headquarters of Alpha Bank Cyprus, which serves as the event's strategic partner for the second consecutive year. Bank CEO Miltos Michaelas emphasized the importance of community care and ongoing support for patients. Historically, this march signifies a major shift in public discourse, moving from the silence and stigma surrounding cancer in Cyprus during the late 1990s to a culture of openness, advocacy, and collective action.
