Fight for Women's Health

Long and Ongoing Battle

The fight for women’s health is a long and ongoing battle. Women face unique health challenges throughout their lives, and throughout history, these challenges haven’t always been taken seriously. Here’s a breakdown of some key areas of the fight:

Issues Women Face:

Maternal Health

Sadly, many women around the world still lack access to safe and quality maternal healthcare, leading to preventable deaths during pregnancy and childbirth.

Reproductive Rights

Access to safe and legal abortion, contraception, and fertility treatments is crucial for women's bodily autonomy and overall health. Yet, these rights are often restricted or under attack.

Gender bias in research

Traditionally, medical research has focused on men's health, leading to a lack of understanding of how diseases present differently in women. This can lead to misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment.

Mental health

Women are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and eating disorders compared to men. Stigma and lack of access to mental health services can further complicate these issues

Violence against women

Physical, sexual, and emotional violence can have a devastating impact on a woman's physical and mental health.

The Fight Back

Women (and men who are allies) are working hard to improve women’s health on many fronts:

Advocacy: Organizations and activists are working to raise awareness about women’s health issues and push for policy changes that improve access to healthcare and reproductive rights.
Education and Awareness: Campaigns are promoting education on topics like menstrual health, self-examinations, and healthy body image.
Gender-inclusive research: Increasing research focused on women’s health is leading to better detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect women differently.
Mental health support: Efforts are underway to destigmatize mental health and increase access to support services for women.
Technology and innovation: Mobile phone apps and telehealth services are being developed to provide women with more accessible and convenient healthcare options.

WEN will continue to Fight for Women’s Health.
