Awareness ribbon
Awareness ribbons are small bows and are usually worn on the lapel as a sign of solidarity with a certain group . Furthermore, these are used as symbols in a variety of applications. a. used in social networks. The shape of the awareness ribbons is usually identical. They are differentiated by the respective color scheme.
