On World Gynecologic Cancer Day, the Feliciana Mshanga Memorial Cancer Foundation joined global efforts to raise awareness in Tanzania. Through powerful social media posters and videos—some translated into Swahili—the campaign reached over 1,000 viewers on Instagram. Using the official WoGoDay logo and collaborating with the global movement, Feliciana honored marginalized girls often left behind. This success reflects the urgent need for HPV vaccination, survivor-led outreach, and capacity building in healthcare and education. Chanjo ya HPV ni Ngao ya Maisha. Dignity must be local, visible, and shared.
