THE National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) has joined the global campaign to raise awareness about breast cancer by highlighting the significance of breast health, promoting early detection, and fostering a culture of care and support.
This year’s Pink October is being observed under the theme: “Every story is unique, every journey matters.”
In a statement, Prosecutor-General Loyce Matanda-Moyo said every woman deserves access to information, support, and early detection of breast cancer.
“We are reminded that behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, and a community. Breast cancer affects women in different ways, and every woman deserves access to information, support, early detection, and appropriate care.
The Prosecutor-General’s mandate is to uphold the rule of law and ensure the effective prosecution of crime.
“Our responsibility also extends to creating a workplace where the health, dignity, and well-being of our people are valued and supported. This commitment calls on us, both as individuals and as members of society, to help build communities where people are encouraged to prioritise their health and support one another,” she said.
“Through the #NPAZGoesPink campaign, we encourage NPAZ employees, women across our communities, families, and the public at large to prioritise breast health, understand the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, seek medical advice when necessary, and support those affected by the disease.”
Matanda-Moyo urged the community to make breast health a priority, encourage early detection, and build a culture of care and support.
“NPAZ Goes Pink—protecting lives starts with taking action,” said the Prosecutor-General.
