Cervical cancer ranks as the 1^st most frequent cancer among women in Ghana, and the 1^st most frequent cancer among women between 15 and 44 years of age.

According Gifty Quacoopome, the Operations Manager of Berlin Investment, the stat above calls for an immediate education and prevention and that is what the ‘Face of Black Secret’ project seeks to achieve.
