Close The Gap, Move for Women's Health: Donate or Sign-up!

Within the context of social health inequalities, women unfortunately remain a population group that is disproportionately disadvantaged worldwide when it comes to health risks. Gender inequality continues to have a profound impact on both health outcomes and life opportunities. This needs to change! Let’s take action together for women’s health and start moving forward! So mark the 10th of May in your agenda, see you there! Or if you’re unable to attend but still want to make an impact, consider donating or sponsoring our runners in support of Women Inc. and Women on Waves!

**What to expect: ** The programme will kick off with the 25 min long Cycle Run in Oosterpark (representing the cycle of women and the 25% percent of their lives in poorer health), where we will raise awareness and take action for Women on Waves and Women Inc. This will be followed by inspiring talks on women’s health (speakers and a definite program will be announced soon - stay tuned!). There will be an information market where various organizations will be invited, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions, engage in discussions, and network. More details on the full programme will be shared soon!
