International Day of Action for Women's Health
May 28 · Level 9 · #239 of 2238
The International Day of Action for Women's Health champions women's access to healthcare and their right to make decisions about their own bodies. It highlights reproductive health, inequality and the barriers that keep essential care out of reach.
How it is celebrated: advocacy groups organise educational events, public discussions and information campaigns. Participants share experiences and call on decision-makers to improve access to care and protect women's rights.
The word “Action” in its name carries a purpose: this is a campaigning day. Raising awareness is intended to lead to changes in policy, services and women's everyday lives.
