By 2030, World Health Organization (WHO) is aiming for: -90% of girls globally to be vaccinated against #HPV -90% of women with cervical pre-cancer & cancer to have access to treatment, incl. palliative care. Together, let’s end cervical cancer & save lives!

Join Victoria Baptiste at 8 AM ET (Washington, DC)/ 2 PM CET (Geneva) for #AskWHO World Health Organization (WHO) #CervicalCancer Awareness Month Q & A. Together, we can end cervical cancer. Get Informed. Get Screened. Get Vaccinated.


Victoria Baptiste, Lacks Family Descendant, is live with Maribel Almonte, World Health Organization (WHO)’s lead for screening and treatment and Survivor Advocate –Summer Ngo to raise awareness during Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. #Cervicalcancer is preventable and treatable, if caught early.

The LacksFamily are helping raise awareness on #CervicalCancer. Taken without her consent, Henrietta Lacks’ cells have contributed to countless medical breakthroughs, including the development of the HPV vaccine, and #COVID19 research.

I will sign the Global Declaration to Eliminate #CervicalCancer. I hope you will, too. Let’s do all in our power to protect every girl and every woman! World Health Organization (WHO) is proud to have launched the elimination strategy five years ago. Here’s how to sign: cervicalcancerdeclaration.org #WHA76

The world has lost a powerful advocate for social justice & health equity - Lawrence Lacks Sr., World Health Organization (WHO) Goodwill Ambassador for #CervicalCancer Elimination. Our hearts go out to all members of the Lacks family. Together, we will continue striving to carry Lawrence’s legacy forward.


Lawrence Lacks’ passing leaves a big void in the movement for social justice. We are comforted by the honor World Health Organization (WHO) bestowed on the family & by his legacy in the fight for no child to lose a mother to #CervicalCancer. Our prayers are with the LacksFamily Henrietta Lacks CELLebrate HeLa. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
