Position Paper on “Empowering Her Health”

Throughout history, women have played pivotal roles to build a society. Their health, both physical and mental, is not just a personal concern but a cornerstone for the well-being of societies and nations. A woman's health journey, from childhood to old age, is intertwined with her roles as a caregiver so ensuring her well-being is not just a matter of rights but a necessity for the holistic development of communities. As we delve into the multifaceted realm of women's health, we must remember investing in women's health lays the foundation of a resilient nation and most significantly, women's health is a woman's human right. 

The Position Paper, developed by UN Women and supported by BMGF, Apollo Hospitals and FICCI provides a background on the concerns related to women’s health, key initiatives undertaken by the government and the need for Gender Equality and Gender Responsive Budgeting in our programmes.
