About No Bra Day in brief
No Bra Day was initially observed on July 9, 2011, but within three years it had moved to the 13th day of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, October. Users on social media are encouraged to post using the hashtag #nobraday to promote awareness of breast cancer symptoms and to encourage gender equality. Some women embrace No Bra Day as a political statement while others prefer the comfort of discarding what they view as a restrictive, uncomfortable garment. The day is controversial as some see it as sexualizing and exploiting women’s bodies while at the same time belittling a serious disease. The event was spun off a medical event in Toronto, Canada, that encourages breast cancer survivors to consider reconstructive surgery. The original event known as \”BRA Day\” was started by Toronto plastic surgeon Dr. Mitchell Brown in 2011. In 2012, an anonymous individual using the name Anastasia Doughnuts conceived of No Bra day and published the first website promoting the event. In 2013 and 2014, social media posts announced both July 9 and October 13 as No bra day. Since 2015, the event has only been promoted on October 13. The observance has spread worldwide.
The first No BraDay event was created by an anonymous internet user self-named ‘Anastasia. Doughnuts’ in July 2011 and was observed on that date through 2013. It was adopted in the U.S. in 2012. In 2014, the official day was moved to October 13 by the official Breast Cancer. Awareness Month and October is National Breast cancer Awareness Month. The official day is October 13 and is observed on different dates in different provinces of Canada during the month of October. BRA day is intended to raise awareness of. breast cancer screening, alert women to breast cancer Symptoms, and to. encourage women to conduct regular self examinations. It is also intended to encourage women of all ages to undergo regular self-examinations and to be aware of their breast cancer risk factors. In the last two decades of the 20th century, bras expressed both professionalism and, due to the attention given a pink satin conical bra worn by Madonna, sexual freedom. In 1966, during the height of the hippie era in San Francisco, two women students at San Francisco State College protested a proposed law that would require women to wear bras by walking topless.
