We all value the health and well-being of women in our families and communities highly, and we share the responsibility to protect future generations from preventable diseases. But breast cancer threatens the health of women. It is the most common cancer globally. And it a makes up a quarter of all cancers in women and its impact continues to grow. This situation is made worse by low levels of awareness about major risk factors — such as alcohol consumption — is still low, and politicians don't yet fully use prevention strategies. Alcohol companies are fueling these problems, for example through targeted aggressive alcohol marketing to women, to accelerate alcohol use in women, putting them at greater breast cancer risk. Alcohol companies and their lobby groups are also misleading people about the cancer risk of their products, causing doubt and confusion. Independent, world class science has proven that even low dose alcohol consumption significantly increases the risk of breast cancer. But politicians have the tools to prevent breast cancer cases and deaths. Alcohol policy actions, such as raising alcohol taxes and implementing clear cancer warning labels, can significantly reduce alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk. By taking these steps, we can promote women’s health and save lives.
