M&S Breast Cancer Campaign #showyourstrap controversial? By Alice Sage

The #ShowYourStrap campaign by Marks and Spencer is a campaign set up to raise money for breast cancer and to show awareness. There was shown to be some controversy amongst breast cancer sufferers with the way they felt it was sexualising it.
