MY BURNING ISSUE
Access to healthcare and healthcare
education/resources for women

5. Impact of access to
reproductive rights: Access to
contraception, safe abortion,
and fertility treatments
empowers women to make
informed decisions about their
reproductive health,
contributing to their
autonomy and health
outcomes.
IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN’S
HEALTHCARE

Importance of women's
healthcare: Comprehensive
healthcare, including
reproductive health services,
is crucial for women's overall
well-being, covering
preventive care, maternity
care, and chronic condition
management

6. 9
BARRIERS
Cost: Many women face financial barriers to
healthcare
Limited availability of services: In some areas,
there is a shortage of healthcare providers, leading
to long wait times and difficulty accessing care.
Reproductive rights being taken away/ reduced

7. 7
WHY ACTION IS NEEDED
Consequences of limited access: Barriers to healthcare
and reproductive rights lead to higher rates of
unintended pregnancies, maternal mortality, and
untreated conditions (diseases, STI’s,and mental
health), perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.
