He who has no name, has to do his treatment- যার নাম নিতে নেই, করতে হবে তার চিকিৎসা

Two women from Pakistan were pictured on a placard wearing a barefoot girl on the occasion of Women's Day. When the picture was spread on social media, many commented that it was a Women's Day, not a day of immoral character.

Sister's presence in social media was disgraceful, as a model of the country suffered 'honor killings' at the hands of the brother. Pashtun singer Gajala Javed had to die at the hands of her husband seeking divorce. Many examples can be given to prove where women are in Pakistan.

In such a feminist society, the fact that women cannot even pronounce the word 'breast' is considered normal.
However, BBC Online reports that Pakistan is the worst in Asia in terms of breast cancer rates. It is very important to identify breast cancer in the early stages. But fear of medical experts, many women are not coming forward for treatment due to the 'culture of gentleness'.

Hasanain, a doctor at Aga Khan University Hospital, said, "Early detection not only reduces medical expenses, but also saves lives." "It is our duty to spread awareness about the detection of breast cancer at an early stage," he said.

According to data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 3,000 women die of breast cancer each year in Pakistan. Although the country's charity and doctors claim, the actual number will be close to 3,000. They say one in every 1 in 4 women in the country has breast cancer. But cultural and social constraints make it very difficult for women to get the support they need to survive.

Omar Aftab, an officer with the Pink Ribbon Foundation, a breast cancer-related charity, said breast cancer is linked to women having sex. So it has become taboo in Pakistan. It is seen as sex, not sickness.

Women who have battled breast cancer say they have had to go through a lonely trip.

Women leave behind thinking of family
Primary teacher Sylvat Jafar was in his twenties. Suddenly, she noticed something like tiny wheels on her breasts. He decided to keep the matter secret from his family. He was preparing for a family vacation to Disney Walt. His words, 'In our society, girls are silent on personal matters. You cannot talk about it. I couldn't pronounce the word "breast cancer." But my mother died of the disease. Being the only daughter in the family, I kept quiet. '

He went to the fence, wearing loose clothes and hiding the wheel that was slowly growing. There is no way to publicly discern the horrible suffering he endures.

When he returned to the doctor a month later, his cancer reached the third stage. Third stage breast cancer means that the tumor is too big. There is a risk of spreading the disease throughout the body. However, at this stage, it is possible to treat him.

The situation in Silvat is well known to one of Pakistan's top breast surgeons, Huma Majid. She is in charge of managing a clinic at Ittefaq Hospital in Lahore. There he treated hundreds of breast cancer patients. She said women do not have time to worry about their families and become very aware of their health.

Shame on women for discussing breast cancer is one of the reasons for women not getting treatment in Pakistan. Many women and their husbands are reluctant to be examined by male surgeons because of their involvement with the secretions of the body.

But Huma also mentioned other causes behind breast cancer. She said that in a feminist society like Pakistan, women's health is rarely on the agenda. Many rely on male members for treatment. Usually breast cancer doctors live in the big cities. So here are some problems with communication.

There is also a financial issue
If a woman goes to a big city for treatment, the whole family will go with her, that is the rule. Men should take leave from work to go with women. That is, the expenses are increasing as income is reduced. This has a very negative impact on women, especially those from poor backgrounds in rural areas.

For the first time after surgery, Sobia, a 25-year-old girl, came to check on Huma Majid. A wheel was removed from her breast a few months ago. His father died of cancer last year. Therefore, Sobia took care of the world by leaving her children to study.

Sobia had to walk for two and a half hours to seek treatment at Huma Majeed in Lahore. None of her friends, family members or relatives knew of Sobia's cancer, medical treatment is far from over. He said that he had come to the city to buy food.

Sobia says, “This is a very touching thing. How do I talk in front of everyone with a personal body part? And for a girl my age, this is serious. If anyone knows of this unhappiness, the proposal of marriage will stop. Nobody wants to marry a breast cancer girl. This is the push of such a great illness, all hope of starting a new life over him is gone. It is difficult to handle such mourning. '

Nearly a decade has passed since the operation of Silvat Jafar. He currently teaches at a school in Lahore. Not married yet Breast cancer has lowered its prices in the marriage market. Silvaat says, 'There are numerous marriage proposals
