The International Day of Action for Women’s Health was first observed on May 28, 1987. The day was initiated by the Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR), an international non-governmental organization advocating for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for women and girls around the world.
The main objective of the day is to raise awareness about women’s health issues, especially those related to reproductive health, and to advocate for the implementation of policies and programs that protect and promote women’s health and rights.
International Day of Action for Women’s Health is observed annually on May 28 to emphasize the importance of women’s health and well-being, and to call for global action to address the health challenges faced by women and girls worldwide. The day highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to women’s health, recognizing that social, economic, and cultural factors can significantly impact women’s ability to access health care services and exercise their reproductive rights.
Activities and events held on this day typically focus on:
1. Awareness campaigns: Organizations, activists, and healthcare providers use social media platforms and other channels to raise awareness about women’s health issues, the importance of reproductive rights, and the challenges faced by women and girls in accessing healthcare services.
2. Advocacy efforts: Lobbying and advocacy efforts are carried out to influence policymakers and governments to prioritize women’s health and rights, and to allocate resources for the development and implementation of policies and programs that promote women’s health and well-being.
3. Educational events: Workshops, seminars, webinars, and conferences may be organized to discuss women’s health issues, share best practices, and explore strategies to improve access to healthcare services for women and girls.
4. Community events: Local organizations and support groups may organize events to bring women and girls together to share their experiences, learn from each other, and build a sense of community and solidarity.
International Day of Action for Women’s Health serves as a reminder of the need for a holistic approach to women’s health and well-being, and the importance of advocating for policies and programs that protect and promote the health and rights of women and girls around the world.
