Sun Safety Campaigns

Sun Safety Campaigns are public health initiatives aimed at encouraging people to protect themselves from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. These campaigns promote practices like wearing broad-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing, applying broad-spectrum sunscreen, seeking shade during peak sunlight hours, and avoiding tanning beds. The goal is to reduce the risk of skin damage, premature aging, and skin cancers such as melanoma. By raising awareness and educating the public about sun safety, these campaigns help individuals make informed choices to enjoy outdoor activities while minimizing health risks associated with sun exposure.
