Seeing pink ribbons everywhere? You’re not the only one.
Deemed as the international symbol of breast cancer awareness, pink ribbons are worn by many in October. Way back in October 1985, the first organized movement brought attention the dangers of breast cancer. From then on, several campaigns across the world continued in order to bring awareness to this disease that affects millions of women.
Why Pink?
It’s important to note why pink was chosen to be the official color of breast cancer awareness. Apart from this color’s feminine association, many studies have found out that pink is:
- Uplifting
- Calming
- Playful
- Stress Relieving
