The world comes together for International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8 to celebrate women’s achievements and reinforce a commitment to women’s equality.
International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world. It is also a time for everyone to recommit to seeing a gender equitable world, where women are empowered and their capabilities harnessed for growth in all sectors.
This year Women Impacting Nigeria (WIN) presented a women’s empowerment and health talk at Tangerine Africa. The event was attended by 125 women.
Tangerine Africa is an organization that is focused on empowering people and businesses across Africa to live financially secure lives through world-class insurance & pensions solutions.
The health talk focused on cervical cancer and HPV and risk factors of cervical cancer, such as repeated HPV infection, oral contraceptives, diabetes, compromised immune system, unprotected sex, among others. Methods of preventing cervical cancer were also highlighted and the significance of the HPV vaccination.
