The provincial delegation of the Women's League of the Union of Democratic Builders (UDB) mobilized in Tchibanga, the capital of Nyanga province in southwestern Gabon, to launch the second edition of the "Octobre rose" caravan. The campaign, dubbed "Les marchés roses – Unis par l'unique," aims to raise awareness and screen for female cancers. The event was attended by Pascaline Moundounga, a member of the national women's league of the ruling party.
The caravan was placed under the high patronage of Zita Oligui Nguema, honorary president of the UDB Women's League. According to Moundounga, the UDB Women's League wanted to associate itself with the health cause and contribute its voice and energy to the fight against female cancers. The campaign is led by the Ministry of Health, and the UDB Women's League aims to support and amplify its actions.
The UDB Women's League organized a training and awareness phase on female cancers, after which many volunteers registered for screening sessions scheduled for Saturday at the Tchibanga Regional Hospital Center. The program also includes awareness-raising activities for women at the main market of the bus station on Thursday, followed by a pink march on Friday, October 31, along a route that will take participants from the place des fêtes to the market.
The "Octobre rose" caravan is an annual event that aims to raise awareness about female cancers and promote early detection. In Tchibanga, the UDB Women's League is working to educate women about the risks and symptoms of female cancers and encourage them to undergo screening. By doing so, the league hopes to contribute to reducing the impact of these diseases on women's health.
