This year Avon has brought a different initiative for spreading awareness regarding it. The Twitterati is posting hashtag – “#PinkPoutSelfie” in their tweets to let the word spread.

“The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, which launched in 1992, has placed Avon and Avon Foundation for Women at the forefront of the fight against breast cancer…Our six million Avon independent Sales Representatives around the world not only raise funds for breast cancer programs, but also provide a global army of educators, offering information and raising awareness around the world.”
And since then, people have been tweeting about it. Women have been posting the tweet with #PinkPoutSelfie hashtag along with a photo of them wearing a pout with pink lipstick.
That’s a trendy way to spread awareness about something so important.
The first use of a pink ribbon in connection with breast cancer awareness was done in 1991. That year Susan G. Komen Foundation handed out pink ribbons to participants in its New York City race for breast cancer survivors and since then pink colour has been used to spread awareness regarding Breast Cancer.
With Avon’s initiative, so many people have been intimated about the significance of awareness for Breast Cancer.
