Abstract: Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the main causes of mortality among women, whichis a public health problem that transcends the biomedical dimension and involves social, economic, ethnic and gender challenges. Despite the existence of Public Policies and legal guidelines that ensure social rights and benefits for women diagnosed with breast cancer, many women are unaware of their rights or face difficulties in accessing them, thus compromising the effectiveness of social and health policies for the benefit of these women, further exacerbating the vulnerabilities already faced by this population. In this sense, studies that describe the social rights of women with breast cancer are essential to strengthen the rights, equity in access to health and social protection of this population. Objective: To discuss the importance of disseminating the social rights of women diagnosed with breast cancer. Method: A narrative review of the literature was carried out, based on scientific materials and from internationally and nationally renowned institutions that address public policies, social assistance and the rights of women with breast cancer. Data collection was performed on scientific bases, using descriptors such as “breast cancer”, “social rights” and “social protection”. Materials describing public policies and social rights of women with breast cancer were analyzed, as well as studies discussing inequalities in access, legal benefits, impacts of social support and information dissemination strategies. Results: The analysis of the literature shows that, although there are laws that guarantee access to treatment and social benefits for women with breast cancer, many patients are unaware of their rights or face bureaucratic difficulties in accessing them. Thus, highlighting significant barriers that indicate a gap between social rights and their implementation, especially for women in situations of social vulnerability, with the need for more strategies to disseminate rights adapted to sociocultural diversity. Conclusion: The dissemination of information on social rights should be incorporated into Public Policies, ensuring that all patients have access to welfare benefits. However, to achieve this, it is essential to invest in accessible and culturally adapted communication strategies, with the potential to promote women's empowerment and equity in care. Only with strategies to disseminate social rights, as an instrument of citizenship, will it be possible to reduce asymmetries and ensure dignity for women undergoing cancer treatment.
