WOMEN'S HEALTH

Women With A Call is hosting a Women’s Health Workshop/Fair, "Loving Your Body - Mastering Your Mind," on March 18, 2023. Our workshop is an opportunity to raise awareness of women's health and provide educational information and various screenings related to women’s health at an affordable cost.

 

Did you know that 70% of those affected by chronic pain conditions are women, yet 80% of pain research is conducted on males? This bias has put women's health at risk, and these disparities result in a significant gap in understanding the female body. We’re asking for your support to close the gap and ensure women’s health is prioritized. 

 

The need for women's health support goes beyond the need for more research. The COVID-19 pandemic has widened the gap between health crises, and Oxfam International reported that women globally lost more than 64 million jobs in 2020 and at least $800 billion in earnings. According to the Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report, economic participation and opportunity remained the second-largest of the four critical gaps tracked in 2022 and will take another 151 years to close. 

 

Meanwhile, as women held families and communities together during this time, their own essential health care, such as screenings for deadly diseases, was put on hold. The Hologic Global Women’s Health Index, an annual study that measures women’s experiences worldwide, found that only 12% of women globally responded that they had been tested for cancer in the previous 12 months in 2021, despite this disease killing 10 million people worldwide. Additionally, women’s emotional health has also been put at stake. The Hologic Global Women’s Health Index found that emotional health is at an all-time low, with worry, stress, sadness, and anger continuing to increase around the globe.
