No Bra Day is a global observance aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer and promoting regular breast self-examinations, early detection, and supporting those affected by the disease. This annual event encourages women to forgo wearing a bra for a day, with the hope that this act will spark conversation and increase awareness around breast cancer. Participants often share images and stories on social media using the hashtag #NoBraDay, engaging friends and followers in important discussions related to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. The origin of No Bra Day can be traced back to 2011 when a group of breast cancer survivors and supporters promoted the idea through social media. In the United Kingdom, breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women, with approximately 55,000 new cases diagnosed every year. A significant part of No Bra Day in the UK focuses on educating women about the importance of understanding their own breast health and knowing how to identify changes in their breasts that could be indicators of cancer. No Bra Day is observed in the United Kingdom in a variety of ways, including public events, media coverage, and individual actions. Women in the UK may choose to participate by not wearing a bra for the day, posting selfies or personal stories on social media, or by making contributions to breast cancer research and supporting organisations. The observance of No Bra Day in the UK coincides with the global date, which falls annually on October 13th. No Bra Day facts
