On Tuesday 21 October 2025, the Groupement des Femmes Vaillantes et Dynamiques du Grand-Lomé (GFVD-GL) held its Grande Marche Rose (Great Pink March). In pink polo shirts, caps and headscarves, participants turned out to carry a prevention message through the streets of Lomé.
From Kégué to the Maison de la Sage-Femme
Setting off at 8:00 am from the headquarters of the Togolese Football Federation in Kégué, the procession, accompanied by a brass band, made its way to the Maison de la Sage-Femme in Hédzranawoé, where breast and cervical cancer screening was offered to participants.
“Women, at any age, get screened to prevent and fight breast cancer and cervical cancer.”
On T-shirts and banners alike, one rallying cry: “Tous ensemble, luttons contre les cancers féminins” (Together, let’s fight women’s cancers). A message carried joyfully, with songs and music, all along the route.
Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who marched, sang, cheered and supported this day. See the photos of the march in our gallery.
