The month of October offers the opportunity to commemorate the fight against breast cancer.

Many people think of pink as the hue that represents femininity. When a woman wears her pink heart on sleeve proudly, her struggles and triumphs may inspire countless others. Such is the story of Nuzhat Tarannum Tishna, founder of TishCAN, a charitable organisation for breast cancer, and a breast cancer survivor herself.

The fight against breast cancer isn't just about awareness, it's also about equity.
