​Women are the backbone of the household; if she falls sick, the daily routine slows down automatically. In many rural areas, people neglect their health due to household chores and child care, a major cause of poor health.

A report shows that a significant number of women suffer or lose their lives because of breast and cervical cancer. To combat this, women health NGO in India run screening programs that help to detect cancer in the early stage.

Silent Threats: Bringing Cancer Screening to India’s Most Vulnerable Women

​Breast and Carvical cancer are the most common diseases in India, but no one talks about this topic because of social taboos. In many households, women can’t talk openly about menstruation. Therefore, when women see early signs like swelling or pain, they never discuss this with their family members.

In urban areas, women have education about the symptoms and causes, but in rural areas, no one has proper information about this. Therefore, NGOs spread breast cancer awareness in India to help women prevent cancer.

​Why Are Rural Women at Higher Risk?

The government runs many programs to raise awareness, but the question is why rural women are at higher risk? The answer is a lack of routine screening, limited healthcare access, and lower awareness of the disease.

​This is the main reason that rural women are at high risk. To prevent cervical cancer, NGOs focus on cervical cancer screening for rural women. It ensures the safety of the women from this life-threatening cancer.
