16th International Day of Action for Women's Health and Launch of Women's Access to Health Campaign
When: 28 May 2003
Call For Action 2003
Governments: Take Responsibility for Women's Health!
Primary Health Care and Women's Reproductive and Sexual Rights: Where are we today?
In this year's Call for Action the Women's Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) places women's rights to health as part of the larger demand for a fresh look at women's health needs within the framework of primary health care.
This Call for Action will launch WGNRR's 3 year campaign on the issue of Women's Access To Health (WAHC).
We join the People's Health Movement to observe the year 2003 as the Year of Alma Ata to remind UN Agencies, governments and other key actors of the
WHO's Alma Ata declaration of their promise to deliver Health For All by the year 2000!
You can access a copy of the Call for Action and sign up to be an active campaign participant by visiting our website at http://www.wgnrr.org
The Call for Action of WGNRR is meant to be an inspiring and stimulating contribution to your work to make the 16th International Day of Action for
Women's Health a huge success.
Together with the People's Health Movement women's groups and organisations everywhere let us join forces to bring about change !
Mark the date and start preparing.
Together we can make a difference !
"Health is a social economic and political issue and above all a fundamental human right. Inequality, poverty, exploitation, violence and injustice are at the root of ill health and the deaths of poor and marginalized people.. "
(Excerpt from Charter for People's Health)
Women's Access to Health Campaign is elaborated in close collaboration with the People's Health Movement.
