awareness ribbons

Awareness ribbons are colored ribbons that symbolize support for various causes, health conditions, and social issues. Each color represents a different cause; for example, pink is for breast cancer awareness, while red signifies heart health. People wear these ribbons to raise awareness, show solidarity with those affected, or honor individuals impacted by specific issues. The practice began in the 1970s and has since become a widely recognized way to promote understanding and encourage action regarding important societal challenges.
