October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Deaf women deserve breast health information in a language they understand. Without sign language access, important messages leave them behind.
Take time to know how your breasts normally look and feel. If you notice a new lump, thickening, swelling, or unusual skin or ni**le changes, seek medical care promptly. Self-checks do not replace breast screening.

AOF calls on health providers to offer Nigerian Sign Language interpreters, explain information clearly, and give Deaf women time to ask questions.
