Korea Gold Ribbon campaign
There are many global awareness campaigns which inform about a specific disease and encourage people to seek treatment, such as the Pink Ribbon Campaign (for breast cancer) and the Red Ribbon Campaign (for AIDS). However there was no campaign which addressed an equally important issue - voiding dysfunction, which includes conditions such as incontinence and overactive bladder. Because of this, the Korean Continence Society (KCS) and the Korean Urological Association (KUA) decided to launch a campaign to increase public awareness of urological disorders, educate the public, and promote treatment. The initiative was named the Gold Ribbon Campaign, with the color symbolizing the ideal color of healthy urine, and since 2007, the nationwide campaign has been run during the two weeks surrounding World Continence Week (WCW).
