Volunteers from the Youth Development Association conducted an awareness workshop as part of the “Pink October” campaign at Al-Orouba Camp, west of Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip. The activity was implemented as part of the Association’s efforts to promote health awareness among women and deliver preventive health messages to communities and displacement camps.

The workshop was facilitated and supervised by qualified and experienced health specialists, who provided reliable information and guidance on breast cancer, the importance of early detection and regular health follow-up, and the signs and changes that may require consultation with qualified health professionals and medical advice.

The workshop also addressed the importance of promoting a culture of prevention and greater attention to personal health. Women were encouraged not to ignore any unusual health changes and to obtain health information from reliable sources, particularly in light of the difficult humanitarian and living conditions faced by women and families in displacement camps.

The workshop witnessed active participation from the women, who were given the opportunity to ask questions and discuss their concerns directly with the specialists. This contributed to strengthening their knowledge and correcting misconceptions and inaccurate information related to breast cancer and the importance of early detection.

This workshop is part of a series of health and awareness activities implemented by the Youth Development Association through its volunteers and with the participation of relevant specialists. These activities aim to promote health awareness and empower women by providing access to reliable information and guidance that can help them protect their health and make informed health decisions.
