As part of Pink October, the month dedicated to breast cancer awareness, the Grand Mosque of Paris committed to informing and advising women about this disease.

Over a weekend, a medical team was present in this unique Muslim worship site to conduct information and prevention activities.

This initiative aims to reach an audience often less exposed to such campaigns, to encourage screening and awareness of breast cancer risks.

Each year in France, more than 60,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed, making it a major public health issue.
