University of Ibadan University College Hospital | Ibadan, Nigeria | Advancing SDG 4 & UNAI 3 Millennium Fellowship Project: Her Life Matters Considering the enormity of my initial project, I have decided to partner with Hallelujah a friend and millennium to combat the gross lack of information regarding cervical cancer incidence and prevention to young girls in my immediate community (Ibadan, Nigeria). I'm going to be working on the MDG 6 which is to combat malaria, HIV/AIDS and other diseases. cervical cancer is on the rise now and it is the second highest cause of cancer deaths among women, after breast cancer. The surprising part is that it is preventable and curable if diagnosed on time. One of the preventive measures is by abstinence, keeping a good sexual life, and HPV vaccination at least by the time young girls are leaving secondary school. Because this project will be encouraging women, young girls in particular to be intentional about their health, it'll also empower women, hence fulfilling the MDG 4 (promote gender equality and empower women) As part of my project, I will work on sensitizing young girls on what cervical cancer is and also bringing about the knowledge of the vaccines to them. One problem that may be faced by the government in organizing mass vaccination is inefficient planning. In a bid to help the government, data will be collected in the sensitization programs which I will organize and it will be analysed to provide the government with valuable insights on mass screening exercises. I'll also be communicating the results to various NGOs who havw the capacity to organise these screening programs. I look forward to organising a team and working on this project. Our hope is too reach about 100-150 young females in secondary schools scattered around our community and hopefully recommend/partner with cervical cancer screening and vaccination organisations interested in our cause .
