August

In August, Unesc reinforces its commitment to social awareness and engagement through a diverse program that highlights fundamental themes for health, human rights protection, and community well-being. The month is marked by Orange August — established by Federal Law No. 11,303/2006 to raise awareness about Multiple Sclerosis —, Light Green August, which draws attention to the fight against lymphomas, and Golden August, a global campaign that encourages breastfeeding, recognized as the gold standard of infant nutrition. Additionally, Lilac August brings important reflection on the Maria da Penha Law and the fight against violence against women, symbolizing respect and solidarity.
