Transforming health care

What is feminist health care?

Our counterparts show us what this means every day: community- based care with autonomy, dignity and rights at its core.

In this bulletin, you will meet women in rural Guatemala bringing care for survivors of violence closer to home; health workers in the Philippines ensuring sexual health care is accessible to all; and, a doctor from Burma helping to build an inclusive, federal health system.

They are strengthening health care through courage, solidarity and collective action—we are honoured to accompany them in this vital work.

Reshaping sexual and reproductive health care in the Philippines

For 30 years, Inter Pares counterpart Likhaan has sought to break these barriers and reach the most marginalized by building a community-based health-care system: one with autonomy, dignity and rights at its core. A feminist approach to health.
