"It is necessary for every woman to know the importance of self-exploration and to perform exams to detect any abnormal lumps. I invite them not to be afraid; there is no better opportunity to detect breast cancer than with the proper studies," she said.

He asked women to continue to get involved in these campaigns that add up to important points in the daily fight of all those who suffer from this situation and go through difficult times, and he endorsed the commitment of the welfare agency in these actions.
