Women’s Health

Health is more than absence of illness—it's the conscious pursuit of physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Yet many women continue to face barriers such as poor access to healthcare, stigma around reproductive health, and lack of education.

YGI addresses these pressing issues by:

  • Raising public awareness of key health behaviors

  • Breaking taboos surrounding menstruation and reproductive care

  • Providing women with the tools and knowledge to make informed choices

  • Advocating for the integration of women's health in national policy

Neglecting women's health affects not just individuals, but families, communities, and generations.
