Health

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The 1995 Beijing Platform for Action emphasizes that women have the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. Equipping women with the necessary knowledge and skills to fulfil their health potential is essential to their own well-being as well as that of their children and families. Tackling gender inequalities in the provision of health services will enable all women and men to enjoy healthier lives and ultimately lead to greater gender equality in all areas.
