In Romania, women's health faces significant challenges. Despite
medical advancements across Europe, Romania holds the unfortunate
distinction of leading the European Union in cervical cancer mortality
rates. This statistic is further compounded by the fact that, as of
2019, only 9% of Romanian women between the ages of 50 and 69 have
undergone a mammogram in the preceding two years, according to
Eurostat data. These figures highlight a pressing need for targeted
interventions.
Recognizing this gap, our #herhealth initiative is stepping up. We are
launching specialized awareness workshops tailored for young women in
universities and high schools. By focusing on this demographic, we aim
to instill a proactive approach to health from a young age. Our
workshops will provide these young women with essential knowledge,
tools, and resources related to women's health. Furthermore, we
believe that by empowering them, they can act as ambassadors of
change, taking this knowledge back to their home communities and
creating a ripple effect. Our ultimate goal is to build a robust
support system and community that prioritizes women's health and
well-being.
The hub is excited to embark on a transformative journey in
collaboration with esteemed healthcare professionals, researchers, and
institutions.
Our mission is to illuminate the landscape of women's health for those
aged 14-35, using accurate data as our compass. With this foundation,
we're designing uplifting and impactful project activities centered
around three empowering pillars:
We're crafting a comprehensive women’s health prevention guidebook, a beacon of information. This guidebook, crafted with insights from leading oncologists, gynecologists, sociologists, and medical anthropologists, serves as a valuable resource. It will be available for download on the #herhealth website.
We believe in the power of conversation. That's why we're launching #herhealth awareness sessions in schools and universities, creating spaces where discussions about women's health flourish, and where young women feel seen and heard.
Our vision extends beyond immediate outreach. We're nurturing a network of #herhealth ambassadors, champions from our awareness sessions, who will passionately spread the message of women’s health awareness in their communities, weaving a tapestry of support and understanding.
