\u00ab\u00a0Prevention Knows No Borders: Let’s Inform Ourselves, Let’s Protect Ourselves\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

On the occasion of Pink October 2024, the Afiya press group, a leading media outlet for health in Africa, is partnering with L’Africaine, a leader in information dedicated to African women, to launch an ambitious and innovative breast cancer awareness campaign.<\/p>\n

A Cross-Border Initiative<\/p>\n

This year, our message is clear: \u00ab\u00a0Prevention Knows No Borders: Let’s Inform Ourselves, Let’s Protect Ourselves\u00a0\u00bb. This bilingual campaign, in French and English, aims to transcend geographical, linguistic, and cultural barriers to reach as many women as possible across the African continent and beyond.<\/p>\n

A Rich and Varied Program<\/p>\n

Throughout October, our platforms and those of our media partners will broadcast:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Daily awareness messages<\/p>\n

Inspiring testimonials<\/p>\n

Health expert advice<\/p>\n

Practical information on prevention and early detection<\/p>\n

Every Thursday of the month, we organize \u00ab\u00a0Pink Thursdays\u00a0\u00bb, interactive online sessions where:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Health professionals will answer public questions live<\/p>\n

Women will share their experiences<\/p>\n

Virtual self-examination workshops will be offered<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the Ground: Screening and Awareness<\/p>\n

In partnership with local associations and health centers, we organize days of:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Free breast cancer screening<\/p>\n

Face-to-face awareness workshops<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unity is Strength<\/p>\n

Dr. Samira Kilanyossi, Editor-in-Chief of Afiya, emphasizes: \u00ab\u00a0This campaign is a unique opportunity to create a pan-African movement for women’s health. By uniting our forces, we can have a real and lasting impact.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Ms. P\u00e9lagie Blewussi, Director of L’Africaine, adds: \u00ab\u00a0Informing and protecting African women is our daily mission. This Pink October campaign is an opportunity to amplify our message and reach every woman, wherever she is on the continent, because to live long, one must live informed.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
