Lower the age to 20 for women to have smear tests.

Closed 3,992 signatures

What the petition asks

After today, reading of another young mum dying of cervical cancer because she was to young to have a smear test I decided to start this petition so we can fight for a change in the age that smears are routinely offered. I believe at the very least the age should be lowered to 20.
