International Day of Action for Women's Health
International day of action for women's health. Many complaints – from the menstrual cycle and pregnancy to menopause – are hardly ever discussed at work.
Idea to get started
Share an overview of screening examinations for women (e.g. from the women's health portal of BIÖG, the German federal health education institute). Offer a lunchtime info break with the occupational physician or a gynaecologist. Set clear rules for time off for check-ups. Ask for feedback: what do women miss at work?
Did you know?
The International Day of Action for Women's Health on May 28 was declared in 1987 at a meeting of women's health networks in Costa Rica.
