May 28, 2024

May 28 is International Day of Action for Womens’ Health. This day was first observed in 1987, and aims to advocate for women’s reproductive rights, highlight healthcare disparities faced by women, raise awareness about gender-based violence, and promote sexual health and rights. 

The Women’s Health Research Cluster is committed to empowering and advancing women’s health research. To honor the International Day of Action for Women’s Health, we are celebrating the strides the Cluster and its members have taken to advocate for the funding, prioritization, and advancement of women’s health research. Small actions together can make a significant difference by raising awareness and driving policy changes, and we encourage individuals from all walks of life to make their own meaningful contributions to this movement!
