≡Breast Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated in October
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated in October and was created to raise awareness about breast cancer, promote prevention and support those affected by this disease. The campaign began in the 1980s and since then, October has become a global time of mobilization to raise awareness about the importance of early diagnosis, access to treatment and emotional support for patients. During the month, many initiatives are carried out, such as awareness campaigns, fundraising events and educational activities about the importance of self-examination and mammograms. The most common symbol of this movement is the pink ribbon, which represents solidarity and support for the cause. In several countries, monuments and buildings are illuminated in pink to draw attention to the importance of breast cancer prevention and treatment.
