| | | Breaking the Stigma on Women's Health Topics | Women's Health Week | | |
Women’s Health Week (May 11th – 17th) is a time dedicated each year to highlighting some of the challenges and misunderstandings women face when it comes to proper health care. One of the biggest challenges is the idea that women’s health issues and personal experiences should be kept to themselves, leading many women to feel shameful, isolated, and uninformed about their health. This week serves as a chance to empower women to break the stigma, speak up about their health concerns, and seek out the care needed to keep them healthy.
