Every stage of Women's Health Matters
From Adolescence to Menopause: Health Autonomy
Achieving gender requires more than policy commitments, it requires equitable access to comprehensive health services across a woman's entire life.
This session will explore how gaps in healthcare systems continue to affect women at different stages of life and why addressing these gaps is essential for advancing women's rights, dignity and wellbeing.
From adolescent girls seeking access to HIV and sexually transmitted diseases prevention, to survivors of domestic abuse navigating long term health impacts, to women experiencing menopause, many women encounter barriers that prevent them from accessing the care and information they need.
Strengthening equitable access to prevention tools such as PrEP, alongside integrated healthcare is not simply a single issue intervention, it represents a structural investment in women's health autonomy and long term wellbeing.
This discussion brings together perspectives across generations to highlight the importance of holistic, life course approaches to women's health, ensuring that no stage of a woman's life is overlooked.
WHY THIS CONVERSATION MATTERS
Women's health does not exist in isolated chapters, it is a continuous journey.
Policies and services must recognise the interconnected nature of health, safety and autonomy throughout a woman's life.
By bringing together voices across sectors, this session seeks to highlight solutions that support health equity, dignity and empowerment for women everywhere.
Join in the Conversation
We invite policy makers, advocates, researchers, practitioners and community leaders to join this important dialogue and contribute to shaping more inclusive and responsive health systems for women.
WHAT THE SESSION WILL EXPLORE
- Access to HIV prevention and the role of PrEP in empowering women and girls
- The long term health impacts of violence against women
- Gaps in health systems that affect women across different life stages
- Why menopause must be included in global conversations on women's health
- The importance of women centred healthcare approaches
This work also connects to the Yummy Meno initiative which explores women's wellbeing and menopause awareness through lived experience, nutrition and culturally informed approaches to health.
