Art Can Change the World
Although rates of breast cancer in Mexico are comparable to those in the US, the mortality rate is significantly higher. The oncologists at FUCAM (Fundación de Cáncer de Mama) attribute it to various factors, including lack of education and cultural taboos that prevent awareness and early detection. Keep A Breast Foundation partnered with local Mexican and U.S.-based Latinx street artists to help launch the Spanish-language version of their early-detection and education app to reduce breast cancer risk and its impact globally.
