This week

In this thematic edition of People's Health Dispatch, we look at the
actions undertaken around the world on occasion of International Working
Women's Day. The health of women is strongly intertwined with other aspects
of their lives. Adsa Fatima from Sama - Resource Group for Women and Health
shares more on such linkages in a video

produced through the *Salut, Drets, Acció* process.

*Data speaks* brings more on the intersectionality of gender, health, and
other aspects of women’s lives.

A new pension reform in France

will have a disproportionate impact on women in comparison to men,
including on their health. Feminist and health groups observed a two-day
general strike on March 7 - 8, coordinated by the trade union movement. The
joint protests show the determination of the people in France for a
stronger and fairer social security system instead of another round of
austerity measures.

For a long time, the women of Latin America have been an inspiration for
feminist movements around the world. The People’s Health Movement (PHM)
produced a video report
<https://peoples-health-dispatch.ghost.io/r/f661bdd5?m=7fbe802b-41b0-46c0-a257-5e71e0284f0a>on
past protests in Argentina, which is to be followed by a report on this
year’s mobilization. In Uruguay
<https://peoples-health-dispatch.ghost.io/r/be5b82ab?m=7fbe802b-41b0-46c0-a257-5e71e0284f0a>,
women took to the streets once again to fight for equity and justice. The
feminist movement in Uruguay had previously won important victories in the
field of sexual and reproductive health rights.
