Atividade de Inglês sobre o Outubro Rosa (Pink October) – Anos Finais
O Outubro Rosa é uma campanha mundialmente conhecida por aumentar a conscientização sobre o câncer de mama, uma das doenças que mais afetam as mulheres ao redor do mundo. Durante o mês de outubro, diversas ações são realizadas para informar as pessoas sobre a importância da prevenção e do diagnóstico precoce.
O diagnóstico precoce é fundamental para que as chances de tratamento bem-sucedido aumentem consideravelmente.

Além disso, conscientizar a sociedade sobre os fatores de risco também é uma parte essencial da campanha.
A campanha do Outubro Rosa busca não apenas educar, mas também inspirar as pessoas a apoiar essa causa, seja participando de eventos ou ajudando a arrecadar fundos para a pesquisa e o tratamento do câncer. Todos podemos fazer a nossa parte nessa importante causa de saúde pública.
PINK OCTOBER
Pink October is an international campaign to raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. Each year, thousands of women are diagnosed with this disease, but through preventive measures, like regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle, it’s possible to increase the chances of survival. The campaign also highlights the importance of self-examination and professional medical advice.
During this month, many organizations worldwide promote educational events, fundraising activities, and support groups for women affected by the disease. Public buildings and monuments are lit up in pink to show solidarity and remind people of the ongoing battle against breast cancer.
In addition to physical health, Pink October also emphasizes mental and emotional well-being, encouraging communities to support those undergoing treatment. The month serves as a reminder that early detection saves lives and that we all have a role to play in promoting health awareness.
