May 28th was International Women’s Health Day.<\/strong> A date for reflection<\/em>, remembrance<\/em> and action<\/em>. It’s a time to remember that women’s health matters<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

When we bring this reflection to the countryside, we realize that the health of rural women still needs to be discussed a lot<\/strong>. They are the ones who face a heavy routine, working hard in the fields<\/strong> and still looking after the house, the family, all at the same time<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n

Often, these women don’t have access to a health center nearby<\/strong>, or to proper examinations or care. That’s why this date is a call for society to take a closer look at these realities<\/strong> and demand public policies that guarantee the right to health in an integral way<\/strong>, respecting the way of life and knowledge of these women. <\/p>\n\n

What can be done? How can rural women’s health be guaranteed? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
