Her Health Matters is a not-for-profit initiative that spreads awareness of women’s health issues. Half of the world’s population faces biological processes such as menstruation, birthing a child, and menopause, in addition to diseases and conditions that are specific to women. And yet, education about these topics in many countries, including the U.S., remains inadequate. Not understanding your own body can lead to fear, confusion, and sometimes harmful self-treatments. 

 

Women’s health is still a social taboo in many cultures, and women’s health issues are statistically underdiagnosed. This lack of awareness and attention exacerbates and perpetuates gender inequality everywhere, and leads to worse health outcomes for women. Even in the U.S., people who do not understand women’s bodies and reproductive health are trying to control it.

 

By raising awareness through interviews and educational material, we aim to empower women to understand their own bodies better, advocate themselves, and break down stereotyping within the medical field.
