Women's Health – A New Global Agenda

Women’s health represents the health of a nation and therefore, a new global agenda for women’s health is crucial. Gender equality and women empowerment are also very important for improving women’s health globally. In the past few years, women and girls across the world have started facing certain health issues. From PCOD, Premature Menopause, sexual, reproductive, and maternal health issues to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and depression. But their health is ignored several times and in many societies across the world, they are still discriminated against due to pre-existing socio-cultural factors. Less education and employment opportunities, unequal status, weak relationships with partners, and experience of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse prevent them to benefit from quality health services. This is why their health has now become A Global Agenda.
