Did you know that one in eight women in the Netherlands will face breast cancer in their lifetime? Renowned Dutch authors like Kluun and Youp van 't Hek, alongside editors-in-chief from leading publications such as HP/De Tijd, J/M, and ELLE, have penned exclusive columns for tegenborstkanker.nl. Their powerful words urge support for the fight against breast cancer through donations.
On the KWF Kankerbestrijding campaign site, Kluun reflects: 'Whether we agree or not, in our society breasts symbolize femininity and female sexuality.'
Evert de Vos, editor-in-chief of J/M, shares a deeply personal perspective. Having lost his grandmother, mother, and aunt to breast cancer, he admits: 'Every time I look suspiciously at my 11-year-old daughter's chest area—when she emerges from the bathroom in a tight t-shirt or splashes into the pool in a bikini. I'm scanning for early signs of breast development, and so far, I can breathe a sigh of relief: nothing yet.' His column will appear on the campaign site throughout October 2020.
