Announcement:

Call for Action 2004: Coming Soon!
Health for All, Health for Women. What do HEALTH SECTOR REFORMS have to do
with it?

In 1987, May 28th was proclaimed the International Day of Action for Women’s
Health. As every year, WGNRR is publishing a Call for Action to promote and
advocate for women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights. This year’s
Call for Action is part of the Women’s Access to Health Campaign and focuses
on the impact of health sector reforms on women’s sexual and reproductive
health. The Call for Action will be published in English, Spanish and
French.

Health is a human right for all and, as asserted in many international human
rights covenants and agreements, the right to health cannot be fulfilled if
women’s sexual and reproductive rights are not addressed. However, health
sector reforms and privatisation of health services around the world are
jeopardising women’s access to health and sexual and reproductive rights.
It is time for action!

We would like to invite you to support us in promoting women’s sexual and
reproductive health and rights by organising your own activity or event on
the 28th of May. If you are not a member or campaign supporter of WGNRR
already, just let us know (wahc at wgnrr.nl) if you would like to receive the
Call for Action 2004. You will also be able to find it online
(www.wgnrr.org) by early April. Please let us know what your plans and ideas
are for the 28th of May so we can all share experiences and ideas and
increase our collaboration.

Let’s continue to join forces and make a difference! Health for all, Health
for Women NOW!
