The "pink ribbon" is a symbol commonly associated with breast cancer awareness. It represents the fight against breast cancer and promotes education, research, and support for those affected by the disease. The pink ribbon campaign encourages early detection and treatment, emphasizing the importance of regular screenings. The pink ribbon was first introduced in the early 1990s by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization. Since then, it has become a global symbol, with various events, such as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support services.
