Changes in state and federal laws made 2019 a volatile year for women's health with increased restrictions to healthcare access and services. We MUST fight for our rights. And that starts with VOTING.⠀ ⠀ 2020 is THE election year. If we want to change the laws that govern our bodies and our access to healthcare, we must change the policymakers. VOTING is EVERYTHING.⠀ ⠀ The health of women and girls is of particular concern because, in many societies, they are disadvantaged by discrimination rooted in sociocultural factors. ⠀ ⠀ Some factors that prevent women and girls to benefit from quality health services and attaining the best possible level of health include:⠀ ⠀ -Unequal power relationships between men and women;⠀ -Social norms that decrease education and paid employment opportunities;⠀ -An exclusive focus on women’s reproductive roles; and⠀ -Potential or actual experience of physical,sexual and emotional violence. ⠀ ⠀ Tell your legislator to #ActForWomen and support the Women's Health Protection Act TODAY. #radvocacy Image via @periodmovement#votingisrad
