Girls and women should be diagnosed with endometriosis as soon as they have symptoms.
Health Equity in the Workplace
All organizations have a role to play in advancing health equity & eliminating disparities. We work with aligned partners to host exclusive workplace screening events that serve to meaningfully include equity in workplace operations, strategies & goals.
In a world facing multiple crises that are putting immense pressure on communities, achieving gender equality is more vital than ever. Ensuring women’s and girls’ rights across all aspects of life is the only way to secure prosperous and just economies, and a healthy planet for future generations.
One of the key challenges in achieving gender equality by 2030 is an alarming lack of financing with a staggering USD 360 billion annual deficit in spending on gender-equality measures, especially in women’s health.
Take a stand and be part of the change by investing in a meaningful gender-equality measure in your workplace.
Host a special screening of BELOW THE BELT aimed to stimulate dialogue about health equity & meaningfully explore ways to help close the gender health gap.
