Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Beyond the Pink

Why it exists
Started to raise awareness, support survivors, and save lives. It’s a month to inform, not just to wear pink.
How it began
It began as a small campaign by doctors and advocates. Now, it’s a global movement for breast health.
What the pink ribbon means
The pink ribbon started as a symbol of hope and unity. But not everyone feels it represents their reality.
Different journeys
Not all breast cancer stories are the same. Some survive. Some fight daily. All deserve to be heard.
The pink washing problem
Some brands use the ribbon just to sell — not to help. Look beyond the label before you buy.
How you can help
Get screened. Learn the risks. Talk to your people. Awareness starts with action.
Make it matter
This month is about listening, learning, and lifting each other up. Not just pink purpose.
