Eveline Tata Mayaah, Steering Committee Member at Voices of Impact for Cancer Equity (VOICE), shared on LinkedIn:
“I am deeply humbled, overwhelmed with gratitude, and honored to share that I have been named a recipient of the 2026 Dicey Scroggins Distinguished Advocate Award by the International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) and the International Gynecologic Cancer Advocacy Network (IGCAN)!
To be recognized in honor of Dicey Scroggins, a true pioneer with great compassion, is a surreal and deeply emotional moment for me.
This recognition reinforces that advocacy is indeed about relentless heart, breaking barriers, and showing up for the most vulnerable. It is proof that our local grassroots work resonates on a global stage.
This honor reflects a powerful collective effort; our frontline Champions (Community leaders, health workers, and navigators) guiding women through every step of care.
From community education – screening- early diagnosis – Timely treatment – survivorship.
Our courageous Voices (Survivors, caregivers, families, mentors, mentees, and global partners) who fuel this work daily.
My community of fellow advocates in the trenches – this moment reminds us why we push forward. Disparities in gynecologic cancer care are real, but our resolve for health equity is stronger.
Thank you, IGCS, IGCAN, and the selection committee, for seeing our work at Humanity at Heart International, validating our mission, and inspiring us to keep going.
Let’s keep fighting, keep educating, and ensuring that no woman is left behind.”
