These differences are further exacerbated in developing countries where women, whose health includes both their risks and experiences, are further disadvantaged. Our program provides holistic, affirming care to individuals, couples, and families as they prepare for…

Given how many health threats women still face, and the failure to uphold their inherent rights, these actions are now more urgent than ever—and long overdue. In many countries, privatizing health care without guarantees of access for everyone has reduced services for women, and pushed onto them additional care responsibilities for sick family members. This leaves them less time to care for themselves, and to pursue opportunities in school or work to improve their lives.
