« Le cancer tue plus qu’on ne l’imagine » : Le MOJIP organise une marche collective pour le dépistage et la solidarité
The National Movement Jigueeni Pastef (MOJIP) organized a major hiking event on Sunday, October 19, 2025. This initiative aimed to promote health, raise awareness about the fight against cancer, and strengthen social cohesion through sports and group walking.
Women from different regions of Senegal joined forces to demonstrate their determination to face this disease.
In her speech, MOJIP President Maïmouna Dièye emphasized that this march symbolizes solidarity with the community, prevention, and awareness against cancer. She said she was honoring this second edition, this time under the hat of Minister of Family and Solidarity. "For more than ten years, we have been celebrating Pink October because we all feel concerned by the calamity of cancer. Cancer, which is a difficult problem to manage, kills more than we imagine," said Maïmouna Dièye.
According to the former secretary general of the Senegalese League Against Cancer (LISCA), every opportunity will be seized to achieve systematic early detection among women. She cited voluntary early screening, postpartum screening, and screening of the elderly (from the age of 50), emphasizing that "all women are affected by this measure."
Maïmouna Dièye stressed the urgency of the situation, indicating that more than 2,000 cases of breast cancer and more than 2,000 cases of cervical cancer have been detected this year.
She emphasized collective commitment: "Cancer can only be fought through combined action and the commitment of all. All women in Senegal must unite to fight cancer," pleaded the president of MOJIP.
She concluded by promising that this "pink community" will continue to celebrate Pink October every year and will carry out other actions in the dynamic of fighting cancer in general.
