#No Bra Day: Why women should go bra-less today

Today is World No Bra Day, and everyone is expecting some good sights
of boobs freed or not. So why the wait and hesitation. Most of the men
cant just wait today, they wait in eagerness to see it for real.

But  ththatll about World #NoBraDay?

No Bra Day, from history was established to both raise awareness of
breast cancer and its prevalence in today's society, to harness
opportunities for fund-raising to help keep the research moving.

This was in 2011, and it started as a social media campaign.
Its a fact that, every woman is primarily identified with breasts,
unfortunately about some hundreds to thousand women in Ghana (and
elsewhere) have lost one or all of their breasts today due to Breast
Cancer. They battle in silence with shame and self guilt and
worthlessness.
Some are forced to wear expensive prosthesis just to hide the fact
that they've had a breast or breasts removed, thus are unable to go
without a bra.

In Ghana breast cancers are the second most common of all among
women,accounting for over 15% of all cancers in the county. More than
half of all cases reported at the health facilities may have reached
the third or fourth stage of the disease this subsequently results in
very little intervention or death. Many attribute the late reporting
to fear of having breasts removed, financial constraint or difficulty
to access a breast cancer center.

The situation can be depressing but in solidarity we can always end
this. Today and in unison, go without a bra, wear a pink or simply
share so together we raise the awareness of this disease, to affirm
our support for every survivor and to #EndTheFear for Breast Cancer
while reaching for a cure.
