Acting against time: one gesture today saves years for tomorrow.

A key event for women's health

As part of the global Pink October 2026 campaign, the NGO Action Monde Productif (AMP BÉNIN) is organising a public awareness webinar entirely dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. Free and open to all, this event will bring together health and psychological support experts to inform, raise awareness and mobilise the public around a major public health issue. The meeting will take place on Google Meet and will be broadcast live at the same time on AMP BÉNIN's official Facebook page, to make it accessible to as many people as possible, wherever they are.

A theme of hope and responsibility

Under the overall theme "Acting against time: one gesture today saves years for tomorrow", this webinar aims to recall a simple but essential truth: acting early saves lives. Early screening, prevention, information and support for those affected are the pillars of this fight. AMP BÉNIN invites every participant to make this event a moment of awareness and personal commitment.

Two experts to inform, raise awareness and equip

Leslie AGBO — state-registered midwife

Leslie AGBO will speak on clinical and preventive aspects. She will explain the vital importance of early screening, the simple preventive steps to adopt every day, and the role every woman can play for her own health and that of those around her. A practical, accessible and essential talk.

Wilfried KOUELO — psychologist

Sub-theme: "Together, stronger than breast cancer"

Wilfried KOUELO will address the human and psychological dimension of the disease, which is too often overlooked. He will discuss in particular the emotional challenges experienced by those affected, the fundamental role of family and community in providing support, and strategies for resilience in the face of cancer. He will also address stigma and how solidarity can change the way people with the disease are seen.
