“Cervical cancer is a loud example of gender, health and social inequity and injustice that exists in the world today. Yet it is the one cancer that we can eliminate. We must join hands to muster more political will, strong policies, more funding and increase awareness.” - UICC

Women with #HIV are 6X more likely to be infected with #HPV and develop cervical cancer. I salute Salome, for sharing her lives experience with us. Hers, is a story of heartbreak, loss, pain. It is also a story of courage, action and victory. #cervicalcancerelimination #WD2023
