Rep. Kay Khan Invites you to Women's Global Health Rights CHANGE Event

The U.S. is a major funder of health and development in countries where unmet health needs are fueled by poverty, lack of infrastructure, health workforce deficiency, and gender inequality. High rates of maternal mortality and illness are due to unsafe abortion, lack of access to family planning services, and harmful traditional practices. These global challenges demonstrate the need for an integrated, woman-centered, human rights-based approach to health. This event will provide an overview of how access to a comprehensive, rights-based package of sexual and reproductive health services can impact the lives of women and girls globally. The panelists will discuss how this impact is connected to achieving larger U.S. global health and development goals and the importance of ensuring strong U.S. policy and adequate funding for maternal health, HIV, and family planning.
