Preparation to launch the What Women Want for Health and Well-being campaign in Bulgaria is well underway! Here's a behind the scenes sneak peek of training mobilizers how to reach out to women with empathy and compassion. The people behind the campaign are the reason for it's success - ...women need to trust the person asking them questions to give honest answers. Honest answers are the only way we can change policies and resources to fit exactly what women are asking for.
This month we launched the latest What Women Want campaign for Health and Well-being. As part of the new campaign, we're thrilled to welcome 12 new partners in 10 countries to help us reach 1 million women! What Women Want wouldn't be possible without the dedicated grassroots mobilizers ...that make every effort to reach as many women as possible, capturing women’s voices in their own words. This is exactly what makes What Women Want different - local people, reaching out to others in their communities, and ensuring that local voices and solutions lead.
📢 We heard your demands loud and clear – to ask more women, in more places, from more walks of life what they want for their health care.
✨Introducing What Women Want for Health and Wellbeing ✨
This new campaign expands beyond maternal and reproductive health... to women’s health more broadly, intentionally reaching women of all ages and those traditionally left out of power.
Happy 5 Years #WhatWomenWant!
5 years of growth.
5 years of learning.
5 years of connecting with women.
5 years of making sure their voices counted.
5 years of making sure the world heard their voices too.
Thank you to @wra_india 's Dr. ...Aparajita Gogoi for sharing about the idea behind #WhatWomenWant, which was inspired by the Hamara Swasthya Harami Awaaz campaign, or "Our Health, Our Voice". We're also grateful to the women who spoke out and mobilizers who helped reach out to women in their communities about the campaign.
On today's #transdayofvisibility we celebrate our trans brothers and sisters and stand with them against intolerance, hatred, and injustice. Trans rights are human rights and we won't stop fighting until ALL of us are free!
What the #Helms amendment does:
❌ creates significant barriers to safe and legal health care globally
❌ stigmatizes abortion
❌ undermines our ability to advance health, human rights, and gender equality
50 years is too long, it’s time to end this US policy.... #RepealHelms
