LET'S REPHRASE THE HASHTAG #NOBRADAY

  So on 13th October, was nobraday more like a day some girls used the opportunity to bring out the ho in them and show off nude pictures of them wearing absolutely nothing but their breasts in full view. What does this no bra day really mean? Are we ignorant of the fact that isn't about showing the full boobs on social media but actually creating general awareness of breast cancer to women in different parts of world.


The origins of National bra day are yet unclear- this event has been running since at least
2011, with the message of
raising awareness for the
importance of breast cancer screening, recognising the symptoms of breast cancer and
regular self-examinations
in the fight against breast
cancer, by encouraging
women to leave their bras at home on October 13th.
The whole of October is
Breast Cancer Awareness
month , with October 14th
also being the “ Big Pink ” –
an event encouraging
people to organise events
and wear pink to raise
money and awareness for breast cancer care.

Although a controversial
event in the eyes of some,
National No Bra Day
further aims to raise awareness of breast cancer during October.

Using the hashtag
#nobraday on social media
and encouraging women to
go braless for a 24-hour
period on the 13th October,
National No Bra Day aims to
raise awareness of the
importance of knowing how
to carry out breast self-
examinations, being able to
recognise the symptoms of
breast cancer and
encouraging women to
partake in regular breast
cancer screening.

   It's entirely possible you shed your bra every opportunity you get, but No Bra Day is
actually a real "holiday" — and an important one at that. On Oct. 13, women all over
America and the U.K. are ditching their bras and posting photos as part of a campaign to raise breast cancer awareness and to encourage others to get screened for the disease that will have been responsible for
40,450 deaths by the end of 2016, according to The American Cancer Society. The premise is simple — all you have to do is post a braless photo with the hashtag #NoBraDay.

How not to post a nobraday picture.

How do post a nobraday pictures

 To be clear, merely posting a picture of yourself parading the streets minus your
chest cage with the hashtag #NoBraDay isn't going to eradicate breast cancer on its own.
If you truly want to help, there are a number of fundraisers and organizations that seek to assist breast cancer patients,
survivors, and researchers, and they can all use your money, talents, and time (the
National Breast Cancer Foundation is a great place to start your research). But, raising awareness is a solid first step. And if one way to direct people's attention to the importance of screening for breast cancer is
to go braless for the day, so be it.
