Her Voice, Their Lives | From Survival To Governance
Presented by
SOTE PAMOJA DRC | FCRJ - SOAS University of London
Dr. Elisabeth Mishika, founder of the Fondation Elisabeth Mishika (FEM), addresses participants during a breast and cervical cancer awareness session in Goma, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, on March 21, 2026.
Speaking with urgency and conviction, Dr. Mishika challenges deeply rooted stigmas that prevent women in eastern DRC from seeking timely medical care stigmas compounded by years of conflict, displacement, and the systematic collapse of public health services in North Kivu. The World Health Organization estimates that over 70% of cancer deaths in low-income countries occur due to late-stage diagnosis, a reality Dr. Mishika has dedicated her career to reversing.
