Women Overcoming Sickle Cell

The Women Overcoming Sickle Cell Symposium is a unique platform that shines a spotlight on women & sickle cell disease, highlighting key issues affecting women as never addressed before on any stage in Africa.

First introduced at the Congress in 2019, this one-day one-of-a-kind side-event focus on what it means to be a woman living with sickle cell and also acknowledge women luminaries with sickle cell and women-led sickle cell representative organizations who contribute tremendously to tackling sickle cell through high impact advocacy, outreach and community commitment on the African continent and beyond.
