WOMEN’S VOICES ON HEALTH
Women’s voices on health are essential today in the United States and around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing health issues for women around the world, including domestic violence and mental health, and rising rates of climate disasters continue to have a gendered effect, impacting women and girls the most. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned nearly 50 years of precedent in its decision in Dobbs, denying women the constitutional right to an abortion and expanding states’ ability to restrict abortion. However, as this past election showed, women will vote to protect abortion access. Women are leading the efforts to address these pressing health issues and create change for future generations.
