First Ladies for a Cervical Cancer‑ Free Future - A Cervical Cancer Advocacy Toolkit to Support and Empower Female Spouses of Heads of Government

This Toolkit is a practical reference guide developed in partnership with Commonwealth member countries, the Commonwealth Task Force for Cervical Cancer Elimination and the Organization of African First Ladies against HIV/AIDS to equip First Ladies of Heads of Government across the Commonwealth with the knowledge, language and
tools to lead credibly on cervical cancer advocacy. This toolkit functions as both a knowledge resource and an action guide, usable in full or section by section, depending on the advocacy moment, whether engaging communities, participating in national campaigns, visiting health facilities, or speaking at high-level events. The Toolkit is
adaptable to different national contexts while maintaining alignment with the World Health Organization 90–70–90 targets framework and Commonwealth commitments. Above all, it reflects a core conviction that leadership in women’s health extends beyond policy, and to shape public perception, builds trust and strengthens national
commitment to eliminating cervical cancer.
