Awareness ribbon

An awareness ribbon is a small piece of cloth that people pin to their clothes or backpacks or hang on their cars. The ribbon is usually a specific color that represents a specific cause or issue.

For example, a pink ribbon represents awareness and support for breast cancer, a red ribbon represents support for people living with HIV/AIDS, and a blue ribbon represents support for child abuse prevention.

Wearing an awareness ribbon is a way to raise awareness and show support for a particular cause. It's a small way to show that you care about something and want to help make a difference.
