Cervical Cancer Campaigns
One of the laudable achievements of Mrs. Sade Dike as the National President in the campaign against Cervical Cancer. The Campaign against Cervical Cancer by NAFOWA was launched on January 24, 2007 in Abuja. There was need to create awareness amongst women about the killer disease because it can be prevented and women were therefore encouraged to abide by the following rules: - Avoid multiple sex partners
- Stay away from toxic habits (e.g. smoking)
- Adopt the screening habit i.e. do annual Pap smear.
After the Campaign was launched at the National Level of NAFOWA, the various units and commands were given the mandate to carry the campaigns to their various locations. It is important to note that the various units and command have embarked on the campaign against Cervical Cancer thereby educating women in their area on the need to examine themselves regularly to ensure that they are free of the disease.
