Campaign Objective: Eradication of Cervical Cancer in India
Campaign Objective: Eradication of Cervical Cancer in India
A National Human Rights & Public Health Mission by AICHLS
Led by Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India
Chairman – All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties and Social Justice (AICHLS)
🎯 Objective: A Cervical Cancer-Free India
The objective of this landmark initiative is to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health threat across India, with a clear roadmap that emphasizes prevention, early detection, treatment access, and community-level empowerment.
Cervical cancer, though entirely preventable and treatable, continues to claim the lives of thousands of Indian women due to lack of awareness, stigma, late diagnosis, and unavailability of healthcare resources in underserved areas.
Our mission aims to correct this injustice by embedding cervical cancer eradication into the national human rights, public health, and women's dignity framework.
🔍 Key Focus Areas of the Objective
Public Health Equity:
Ensure equal access to HPV vaccination, screening, and treatment, especially in rural, tribal, and low-income communities.
Awareness to Action:
Shift national focus from silence to solutions through structured education drives in schools, colleges, and workplaces, particularly targeting girls aged 9–14 and women aged 30–50.
Healthcare Accessibility:
Deploy mobile screening clinics, telemedicine units, and trained health workers to remote regions, reducing the rural-urban gap in cancer prevention.
Breaking Cultural Barriers:
Tackle stigma and misinformation by promoting open conversations about reproductive health, sexual hygiene, and cancer prevention through local champions.
Legal Empowerment & Policy Advocacy:
Advocate for stronger healthcare legislation and budget allocation for women's health rights under the lens of constitutional protections and international human rights obligations.
Data-Driven Strategy:
Develop a national dashboard to track real-time outreach, vaccination rates, and screening data, enabling course correction and targeted impact.
Multi-Stakeholder Mobilization:
Unite government agencies, NGOs, CSR foundations, healthcare institutions, schools, faith groups, and media to foster a truly collaborative movement.
💡 Long-Term Vision
The ultimate goal is to integrate cervical cancer prevention into India’s essential public health services, and ensure:
90% of girls are vaccinated by age 15
70% of women are screened by age 35 and again by 45
90% of detected cases receive timely treatment
These are aligned with WHO’s 90–70–90 targets, moving India toward eliminating cervical cancer by 2035.
🔖 Human Rights Perspective
The campaign reaffirms that access to preventive healthcare is a basic human right, not a privilege.
By focusing on awareness, affordability, and accessibility, the All India Council of Human Rights places women’s health at the heart of the nation’s social justice mission.
🗣 In the Words of Dr. Anthony Raju
“We must see the fight against cervical cancer not just as a health mission but as a national duty rooted in human rights. Every Indian woman deserves the chance to live a healthy, dignified life free from preventable diseases. This campaign is a promise to every mother, daughter, and sister – that we will not leave them behind.” #CervicalCancerIndia #सर्वाइकलकैंसर_उन्मूलन #AICHLS #DrAnthonyRaju #WomenHealthMission #HPVVaccinationIndia #CancerFreeIndia #महिला_स्वास्थ्य_अधिकार #सर्वाइकलकैंसरजागरूकता #PublicHealthIndia #HumanRightsCampaignIndia
