Women’s Health Week 2024

Women’s Health Week is an annual event by Jean Hailes to bring awareness and shine a light on all things relating to women’s health!

This year’s Women’s Health Week (2–6 September) celebrates the power of women’s choice and voice. It will lift the lid on shame and raise the voice of women who feel unheard. Women’s Health Week arms women with the tips, tools and confidence to talk to their doctors, workplaces and families about their health concerns.
