Haredi women are dying of modesty.

The death rate among Haredi women from breast cancer is 30% higher than the general population despite the fact that they are less likely to develop the disease. 

In Israeli Haredi society, speaking of breasts and other female body parts is immodest. Some women do not learn they are ill until they are dying.

To combat this phenominon in the most insular communities, Ruth Colian undertook to reach these women who have no televisions, secular radio or internet and whose newspapers and magazines do not speak of women's health.

Last year we raised over $2,000 for posters - pashkevelim - telling women to guard their health and get screened. Thanks to you we had over 200 phone calls to our hotline from men and women as a result of 1000 posters in 18 charedi neighborhoods

This year we are doing it again and are seeking to raise $3,000 to create, print and post posters in Charedi neighborhoods across Israel.
