In 2023, the Women's Health and Well-being campaign asked 1 million women and girls what they most want for their health and well-being, reaching out to women often left behind, marginalized, and unheard, to shed light on the experiences of women across generations, identities, and geographies.

The success of this campaign lies with strong community organizations dedicated to bettering the health and well-being of their communities that mobilized women's demands.
