BE BREAST AWARE :
To serve as a platform to enable, educate , empower and equip women
to become breast aware and in the process detect and survive breast
cancer early in life.
Breast cancer has replaced cervix cancer as the number one cancer
amongst women . The first step to combat breast cancer is to spread
awareness about it .
We want to encourage everyone to participate in community service ,
especially ladies to make a larger impact spreading awareness about
early detection of breast cancer .
In India , there are various social taboos and due to the existing cultural
complexities most rural ,urban and educated professional women do
not discuss private matters about their bodies with their husbands,
fathers or brothers.
Secondly , women should realize the importance of breast self
examination ,which can be done at home .
Being breast aware , its changes , early symptoms and required
necessary health check ups will go a long way to combat breast cancer.
BREAST AWARENESS : 5 – POINT CODE:
