Happy Women's Day! We must continue striving for greater gender equality. Women's health is no exception. Consider this: half of infertility issues are due to male factors, yet the burden disproportionately falls on women. It's time for a change. At Bastion Health, we champion inclusive family planning by actively involving men in the fertility process and striving for equity in reproductive health. Let's celebrate women's achievements and work together towards a more inclusive world. #InternationalWomensDay #equalityforall #FertilityEquality #BastionHealth

Today, as we mark #WorldPopulationDay, we confront the stark reality that many communities are still grappling with significant access gaps to sexual and reproductive health information and services. This day serves as a reminder to leave no one behind and for organizations and SRHR activists to continue seeking accountability from governments to uphold their human rights commitments to uphold #SRHR4ALL. 🌏 WGNRR wholeheartedly embraces this year’s theme of “Leave No One Behind, Count Everyone.” #SRHR4ALL means everyone, including those systematically disadvantaged due to gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and disability, among others, must be reflected in data and evidence generation. #SRHR4ALL means that everyone must be reflected in global commitments for human rights, sustainable development, and upholding justice. #SRHR4LL means that no one is left behind. Over the past decades, organizations and SRHR advocates have made remarkable progress in collecting and improving data that aim to capture the diverse sexual and reproductive journeys of all women and girls. They share the human stories behind the population numbers and use evidence to inform programs and policies for the advancement of SRHR. Evidence has also been essential to our movement as we continue to seek accountability for and promote SRHR, bodily autonomy, and gender equality. WGNRR joins organizations and advocates around the world in calling on governments and international institutions to commit to improved data collection and monitoring mechanisms to track progress on SRHR indicators, identify gaps in service provision, and inform policy-making and program development so that it is evidence-based, rights-based, and inclusive. Together, let us work towards a future where every woman and girl can make informed choices about their bodies and lives, contributing to a just, equitable, and sustainable world! 📣 #WorldPopulationDay #WPD2024 #WorldPopulationDay2024

Menstrual Hygiene Day is a global movement aimed at highlighting the significance of menstrual health and hygiene. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing need to break the silence and stigma surrounding menstruation. Menstrual hygiene is not just a matter of health; it's a matter of human rights and gender equality. Proper menstrual hygiene management enables women and girls to live healthy, productive lives, ensuring they can attend school, work, and participate in daily activities without shame or discomfort. Let us work together to change the stigma attached to menstruation and create a world where everyone can manage their period safely and with dignity. #MenstrualHygieneDay #globalhealth #PR4U

Today marks the 68th Women’s Day celebration. Under the theme “Celebrating 30 Years of Democracy Towards Women's Development,” we celebrate the 20 000 South African women from all walks of life that marched to the Union Buildings to protest the pass laws and break the apartheid barrier. In the wake of the challenges and progress made in the past three decades, we are reminded of the immense strides taken towards gender equality while simultaneously acknowledging the persistent gaps that remain. We continue to recommit ourselves to the spirit of Women’s Day by championing the rights and well-being of our young women. With the overall goal of mitigating the prevalence of social challenges that significantly affect young women, such as teenage pregnancy and gender-based violence, we have committed to an advocacy campaign that seeks to promote access to youth-friendly healthcare services in hopes of empowering young women with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, thereby reducing unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. By investing in the health and empowerment of our young women, we are not only fulfilling our historical obligation but also building a stronger, more equitable planet for all. #Women’sDay2024#Women’sRights#AccessToHealthCareFacilities#YouthEmpowerment#YMCAVision2030#SRHR

Addressing Menstrual Hygiene, a Step Towards Gender Equality How many times have you seen news of early pregnancies, rape, forced marriages, and school drop-outs with a close relationship with menstrual health? It defeats all doubts that access to menstrual hygiene products is a fundamental right that impacts women's health, education, and overall well-being. Our initiatives aim to distribute sanitary products to underserved communities and educate young girls about menstrual health. By addressing this issue, we can help bridge the gender gap and promote equality. This also involves engaging communities and men in the conversation to ensure a holistic approach to menstrual health and education. We can all make a difference by working together to ensure no girl misses out on opportunities due to lack of menstrual hygiene. #MenstrualHealth #GenderEquality #WomenInHealth #CommunitySupport

As we mark World Population Day, this achievement is crucial because access to family planning information and quality healthcare empowers young women to make informed decisions about their reproductive health. It leads to healthier lives, reduces maternal and child mortality, and promotes gender equality. By implementing these interventions, #PSKenya is not only improving individual lives but also contributing to the overall socio-economic development of our communities. #WorldPopulationDay2024 #BetterHealthandWellbeing NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT

Women are not mysterious beings, we just haven’t been studied. Our health, our well-being, our aspirations, our desires have been taken for granted and have been ignored for too long. How can we begin to tackle our complex and often misdiagnosed health conditions  if we cannot address them  without being censored on  every platform? To break through this wall of silence and ignorance, we need to speak up for ourselves, to shout for equality with every opportunity we get , and to show the world how valuable we are. Enhancing public understanding of the female body is a critical step toward bridging the gender health disparity. Until that becomes a reality, we will have to keep raising our voices!
