New Delhi: Lifestyle habits play a key role in the rising incidence of cervical and breast cancer. Taking informed decisions about your lifestyle can help in early detection and prevention of these diseases.
This was stated by experts at a cancer awareness and screening camp held in Vasant Kunj on Sunday. “By staying informed about their health conditions, women can take proactive steps to protect themselves from the disease,” they said.
The event was organised by Ratna Naresh Jain to educate and support women battling cancer and to mark the sixth death anniversary of social worker Anand Prakash Jain.
Over 100 women participated in the event, which was conducted in collaboration with Vardhman Recycling and National Association of Adolescent Health Mentors. Dr Seema Prakash, Director, GTB Hospital and President, National Association of Adolescent Health Mentors, addressed the gathering and explained the complexities of breast and cervical cancer.
She urged women to take a few minutes out of their daily routine to do something for themselves and to contact their doctor immediately if they experience any discomfort.
Ms. Ratna Naresh Jain expressed concern over reports of an increase in illnesses among women who tend to take on all aspects of the household. She emphasised that the event was organised by women, for women and expressed delight at the active participation of so many women.

Can men and women be equal in love?
Mona Cholet's “Reinventing Love” examined how gender inequality is ruining romantic relationships. Her analysis focused on the dynamics of female selflessness, male disinterest, and stereotypes found in pop culture and the media. The book suggested that a more egalitarian love story requires acknowledging and dismantling these patriarchal conventions and reconstructing a healthier relationship paradigm.
