Around the world, many women and girls cannot access basic health care and are prevented from making decisions about their own bodies. All too often, the quality health services women and girls need are not available, or women and girls themselves cannot access them. Traditional beliefs about gender roles and challenges to women’s rights also mean women and girls’ health and well-being suffer.
But when we invest in women—who make up the majority of health care workers —healthcare systems everywhere are stronger, and everyone is happier and healthier.
