Mexican Women "Too Guilty" To Get Proper Healthcare

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death among working-age Mexican women, but "within the Mexican culture, women have always been the procurers and not the beneficiaries of health," Dr. Blanca E. Pelcastre Villafuerte of the Instituta Nacional de Salud Publica in Cuernavaca.

Women with cervical cancer tended to feel the disease was completely their own responsibility, the researchers found, and blamed themselves while feeling guilty about not getting a Pap smear earlier.

This is an extreme case of women putting everyone else before themselves. We ARE worth it! Let's take care of ourselves!
