In front of women and girls, at one of the meetings of the Pink October awareness campaign, Rudina Xhunga gave an important message about breast cancer protection.
Dressed in a monochrome, pastel pink suit, Rudina remembers the sentence that every teenage girl hears from her mother around the house: Cover your chest! A sentence that treats the breast only in terms of attractiveness and sexuality, forgetting about health. What if "Covers Chest" is replaced with "Protect Chest"?
"All our lives we've been taught to cover up, cover up your chest. That's what our mothers taught us.
Cover your chest, reveal your chest, but we haven't been taught one basic thing.
Check the chest! Protect your chest!
This is the main thing, protecting and controlling your chest, to prevent an endless ordeal, from those where there is not always light at the end of the tunnel. Today I want to ask, girl,
women, doctors and the Minister of Health who has organized one of the most vocal campaigns I have followed recently, to understand how we can help each other by becoming alarm bells, to awaken our attention.
Check the chest!
I am sure that here in the hall, there are women and girls who are late for this check, even though they have all the opportunities. They do not live in any village of the Republic, where it is more difficult and October must come. But they had
a job, mom sick, pre-teen child, and you're late for your breast exam. That lady I know, with such beautiful eyes, was a year late when she went for the check-up. She says I got saved but it was a year late. Only because of the project he had to finish on time.
But is it worth it before life?", says Rudina Djunga.
