About Us

WE BELIEVE

GWHI believes that reproductive health is a key human right for all girls and women, irrespective of their colour , class or creed. To make social and economic progress we must ensure women's human rights, health, and equality. Women must be elevated to their due place in the society as a valuable component and be respected and honoured duly.

“The mission of the Society is based on the belief that for a nation to be healthy and prosperous, all girls and women must be a healthy and in a complete state of well being. Social and economic progress is only achievable by ensuring women's human rights, health, and equality.

Girls' and Women's health status is affected by a multitude of complex and interrelated biological, social and cultural factors, which must be addressed in a comprehensive manner.

Reproductive health is a key human right for women and is determined not only by the quality and availability of health care, but also by socio-economic development levels, lifestyles and women's position in society.”

Food for Thought

There's nothing more important than our good health - that's our principal capital asset.
