• Abstract:

  
  This paper looks at cancer, exploring its forms of prevention, associated risk factors and the influence of socio-economic inequalities on women's lives. It highlights the importance of public policies and interventions focused on minimizing these imbalances in order to improve access to and the effectiveness of screening programs. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the equivalence of management in cervical cancer screening programs between Brazil and Haiti. METHODOLOGY: This study is based on an Integrative Literature Review, using articles published in virtual databases, including the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo). RESULTS: 15 relevant articles were found that discuss the challenges faced by women in contexts of socioeconomic inequality, including barriers to accessing health services. These studies highlight the need for more inclusive and accessible public health policies. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: It can therefore be concluded that it is essential to implement health policies that are more inclusive and adapted to women's socio-economic realities. Strategies that increase access to screening and treatment, as well as health education that effectively reaches the female population in various social contexts, are urgently needed to reduce incidence and mortality rates from cervical cancer.
