Women's Health Strategy
Women’s Health Strategy
A reminder that the government want women of various ages (16+) and backgrounds to tell them about their healthcare experiences.
“We are launching this call for evidence to listen to women’s priorities. We are also extending this opportunity to organisations, researchers, academics and clinicians who can provide further expertise. Importantly, by directly calling on women, we are re-setting the way in which the government understands women’s health, with a renewed focus on listening to women’s voices.
I encourage you to contribute to this call for evidence – by responding, you can make your voice heard and play a vital part in shaping England’s first Women’s Health Strategy.”- Nadine Dorries MP.
Women Friendly Leeds
Women Friendly Leeds have launched a survey which asks for your views and experiences about women’s safety.
The survey is aimed at women and “non binary” people, suggesting that males who identify as non binary, and as trans, are invited to complete it. It does not have a question for people to state their sex and does not have “being female” as an option to tick under the question “Do you think any of the following affect your personal safety in Leeds?”
Call to Action
Complete the government’s public survey on women’s health by 13th June 2021.
If you spend time in Leeds, complete the Women Friendly Leeds survey, ensuring where possible you emphasise it is your sex, not gender identity, that matters.
