The aim was to assess women's knowledge and attitudes towards cervical cancer. Materials and methods: This was a descriptive study of transversal type from March to October 2018, i.e. a period of eight months at the reference health center of commune VI. Results: During the study period from March to October 2018, we registered 100 women who agreed to participate in the study as part of cervical cancer screening. The 18-30 age group was the most represented (64%) with extremes of 18 years and 65 years. The average age was 37.90 ± 0.66 years with extremes of 18 years and 65 years. Multiparous people were the most represented with a rate of 37% of cases. Women in school were the most represented with a rate of 67% of cases. Attitudes aspects: Women were in favour of systematic research into cervical cancer with a rate of 68%. Cervical cancer is known as a serious disease by 53% of women. Practical aspects: Cervical cancer screening was not carried out with a rate of 63% and the most cited reason for this non-practice was the lack of information. Thus, the practice of screening depended on information. Cervical cancer screening was more common in the 18-30 age group. The attitude depended on practice as 52% of women who considered cervical cancer a serious disease were in favour of routine screening. Practice depended on knowledge with a statically significant test. Conclusion: Visual inspection methods are simple, inexpensive tests that are easily acceptable to women and the result is systematic at the end of the examination; allowing for effective detection of precancerous lesions of the cervix. However, more than the majority of the women surveyed had no information on screening.
