Breast Cancer Awareness Month is observed every October to raise awareness about breast cancer, promote early detection, and support those affected by the disease. It encourages people to get regular screenings, such as mammograms, to catch the disease in its early stages when it is most treatable. The campaign also serves to raise funds for research, advocate for better care, and provide resources for those diagnosed with breast cancer.
The symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness Month is the pink ribbon, representing solidarity with those fighting the disease. Various events like walks, fundraisers, and educational initiatives are held globally throughout the month.
