Campaign Context

Breast Cancer Awareness

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Indian women, and Bengaluru is not exempt. Survival rates increase dramatically when it is caught early. Yet thousands of women, particularly in marginalised communities, go unscreened, uninformed, and undetected until it is too late.

What We Do

Ground action, one conversation at a time.

01

College Awareness Programmes

Interactive sessions across Bengaluru colleges reach young women with accurate information on self-examination, risk factors, and when to seek help.

02

Community Sessions

We take awareness into slum communities, domestic worker groups, and informal settlements where the knowledge and access gap is widest.

03

Public Space Campaigns

Awareness stalls, street talks, and information distribution help normalise conversations around breast health.

04

Self-Examination Guidance

Practical, private, respectful instruction on breast self-examination builds a habit that can change outcomes.

05

Connecting To Resources

We guide women to free and subsidised screening facilities through government hospitals and partner organisations in Bengaluru.

Why This Matters

Awareness is the first intervention.

Stigma, lack of information, and distance from healthcare facilities combine to make breast cancer disproportionately deadly among women in Bengaluru underserved communities.

Bharavase runs this campaign repeatedly - in colleges, communities, and public spaces - until the conversation stops being uncomfortable and starts saving lives.
