translated from Spanish: Criticize cervical cancer campaign

Cd. from Mexico, Mexico.-Academics and social media users criticized a campaign to promote cervical cancer screening because it reproduces gender stereotypes.

Catalina Pérez Correa, CIDE researcher, posted on Twitter a photo of a bus with a poster of the initiative and the phrases: “Wives-QueVivanMas”, “Because we have an important woman in our lives, ask her to get screened, it’s her right” and ” No woman should die from cervical cancer.”

The campaign poster includes the logos of the Federal Health Secretariat, the People’s Insurance Secretariat, the Government of the State of Aguascalientes and the electronic address of the National Center for Gender Equity and Reproductive Health (CNEGSR).

Another social media user wrote, “Besides, if you’re not a wife, don’t you care that we live longer?”
