🌟Celebrating Women's History Month: A Current Perspective🌟 As we honor the remarkable achievements of women, let's also spotlight the top five health issues facing women today in the workplace: 🔹Reproductive Health: Access to contraception, maternal care, and pregnancy support is essential for women's well-being at work. 🔹Mental Health: Stress, anxiety, and burnout due to workload and discrimination disproportionately affect women in the workplace. 🔹Ergonomics: Work-related factors contribute to musculoskeletal disorders, impacting women's physical health on the job. 🔹Gender Discrimination: Bias in the workplace undermines women's mental well-being and professional advancement. 🔹Work-Life Balance: Balancing work and personal responsibilities is crucial for women's mental health. Employers can support with flexible policies. Let's continue to advocate for women's health and equality every day!💪🚺#WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInHealthcare #WorkplaceWellbeing🌟 🔗Visit www.OSH360.com for info on these issues and more!

On International Women's Day, we're calling attention to our work to #InspireInclusion. At Splash, we increase support in the entire social ecosystem—peers, boys, families, and teachers—to shift norms and reduce stigma around menstrual health and puberty. We hope to drive normative change so menstruation can be seen as it truly is: a normal biological process that signifies health and well-being. How do you #InspireInclusion? We want to hear about it! 🫶 #IWD2024

🚨 New Post Alert on The Care Gap 🚨 After a brief hiatus, we're back and addressing a critical issue: how society consistently undervalues women's time.

This week's post explores the multifaceted dimensions of this disparity and offers strategies for systemic change. It's time to value and protect women's time!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Investing in women's health is more than just healthcare—it's a human rights imperative. PROPEL Adapt is addressing gender inequalities by empowering women leaders in policy dialogue on family planning/reproductive health and climate resilience. Through initiatives like our Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for Sexual and Reproductive Health Costing Tool, we're attaching specific gender-responsive costs to existing MISP kits and service objectives. This helps ensure that women's health remains a priority, even in crises. Let's build a future where every woman has access to quality healthcare. #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen

👩⚕️ Would GP Barbie stand for our gender health gap?, asks Dr Bryony Henderson? We couldn't agree more with the need for health literacy - every woman should feel educated and empowered to better understand their bodies, and better describe symptoms, pain and anatomy. 👉 https://lnkd.in/egaywP4m #WomensHealth #HormonalHealth #WorkplaceWellbeing #EmployeeWellbeing #Productivity #JennisCycleMapping #JennisPerimenopause

While the Barbies in Barbieland thought they had revolutionized life for girls and women in the “real world,” in 2023, we all know that isn't exactly the case. We have come a long way, baby...but not yet far enough. As women across the country face diminished reproductive options, it’s even more urgent than ever to have an OTC choice. LUWI is a woman-owned and women-centered business that aims to do just that. We exist to provide women OTC access to health equity, agency, body autonomy, and protection that gives way to pleasure. We are not looking for a Barbie-level society hierarchy gender flip, LUWI’s flipping the script in sexual-health enabling women to make their own choice about their body. #womenentrepreneurs #healthequity #womenfounders #closethepleasuregap #womeninventure #flipthescript

🌸 Absolutely! It's crucial to recognise that women's health encompasses a broad spectrum of experiences and challenges, including those faced by neurodivergent women. 💡#Intersectionality is key to understanding the diverse needs and experiences within the realm of women's health. ❤️ By raising awareness and advocating for inclusive healthcare policies and practices, we can work towards a future where all women, regardless of neurotype, receive the support and care they deserve. #WomensHealth #Intersectionality #NeurodiversityAwareness
