"Every Woman's Story is Interconnected": Our stories are not isolated; they are threads weaving a tapestry of shared experiences. "I Am She, She Is Me" celebrates the unity of women, acknowledging that every story is an essential part of the collective narrative. Together, we stand resilient against the challenges of cervical cancer.

Haiti has the world’s highest incidence of cervical cancer. Despite the virus being easily treatable, an estimated 1,500 Haitian women die annually from the disease. The high mortality rate of cervical cancer in Haiti is often attributed to a lack of access to screening and preventative care. For example, there are only four pathologists in Haiti– a country of 10 million people– available to provide cervical cancer screening.

Consequently, most women in the southern district have never heard of nor have they been screened for cervical cancer. HPV screening is an integral component of reducing the risk of cervical cancer for women. capracare offers “See & Treat” screening to detect cervical cancer in its pre-cancerous state while it is still treatable.

Listen to the captivating narrative of capracare’s cervical cancer program on our podcast An Act of Courage. Co-Hosts Jo Ann Heppermann and Jean Pierre-Louis paint a vivid picture of challenges met with unwavering hope and ingenious solutions the capracare Team faces as they work relentlessly to make cervical cancer screenings a reality. Tune into season 3, "Reining in Cervical Cancer," and be a part of the I Am She & She Is Me Movement.
