Ana Abrunhosa is the godmother of the Pink October Race, an initiative organized by the Portuguese League Against Cancer in partnership with the Coimbra City Hall. The event will be presented this Monday at a session that promises to reveal more details about the race.

The Portuguese League Against Cancer is an organization dedicated to fighting cancer in Portugal, while the Coimbra City Hall represents the local authority that supports this cause. The partnership between these two entities aims to unite efforts for awareness-raising and fundraising for cancer research and support for oncology patients.

The Pink October Race is part of an international campaign dedicated to the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer, which traditionally takes place during the month of October. The event aims to bring together participants in the city of Coimbra in a demonstration of solidarity with women affected by this disease.

UN approves changes to world maps to better reflect Africa's size

The United Nations General Assembly approved a resolution, presented by Togo and supported by the African Union, that promotes a more accurate cartographic representation of Africa's actual size, encouraging the replacement of the 16th-century Mercator projection with the Equal Earth projection, which shows continents in proportional sizes. The "Fix the Map" resolution was approved with 164 votes in favor, one against (United States) and six abstentions, with Washington calling the initiative a "radical ideological project" and a distraction from the organization's real problems. Defenders argue that Mercator's distortion, which makes Africa appear about the size of Greenland when in reality it is 14 times larger, has contributed to an unbalanced global perception and symbolically diminished the continent. The African Union celebrated the vote as "a historic step" toward "accurate and equitable" cartographic representation, although implementation of the resolution depends on the political will of member states, since General Assembly resolutions are not binding.
