On let’s remember that women’s health goes far beyond pregnancy and childbirth. It includes chronic diseases, mental health and care across the life course.

Too often women face barriers that prevent them from accessing the care they need.

❌ Pain and mental health challenges are often dismissed, resulting in a failure to address women’s needs.

More attention must be paid to:

🔵 conditions affecting only women, e.g. cervical cancer;
🔵conditions that affect women differently, e.g. heart disease; and
🔵conditions overwhelmingly affecting women, e.g. violence in development and humanitarian settings.

🧓 Older, displaced and confined women face even greater health inequities.
Lack of education and low incomes increase women’s risk of uncontrolled chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and mental health conditions.

Women deserve better.

Safe, affordable and responsive health services should be responsive to their needs.

How can this be achieved?

🏛️ Governments must enforce strong laws protecting women’s health rights at every stage of life, safeguarding them from violence, discrimination and exploitation.

⚖️ Legal aid should be available to women whose health rights are violated.
