Throughout the month of October, the Eramet Grande Côte Women’s Association (AFGCO) carried out several cancer awareness initiatives in Diogo, with one goal: to make screening a reflex.

The company first supported the Senegalese League Against Cancer (LISCA) by purchasing solidarity items in the colors of Pink October. The funds raised will finance screenings for people who would not otherwise have access to them.

Internally, the Women’s Association organized the webinar “Resilience, Hope, and Solidarity Among Women,” led by Zoubida Fall. Female employees exchanged views on mutual support among colleagues during a time when the company is going through a demanding period.

The Association also partnered with the Medical Service to organize a cervical cancer screening day at the IMODSEN Complex in Dakar. Several employees were able to undergo this examination.
