Eli5: what are we attempting to accomplish by “raising awareness” of things everyone is already aware of, such as breast cancer?

Because "awareness" isn't a "one and done" deal. Just because you're aware doesn't mean your children are going to be born aware. Someone is going to have to tell them. And unless it's something that has had an impact on your life, it's honestly probably not going to be you.

Most people are probably aware of these things *because* of awareness campaigns (the exceptions being people who are directly or indirectly affected by these issues in an impact way, which is the minority of people).
