On the International Day of Action for Women’s Health, Acted highlights a critical reality: access to healthcare remains deeply unequal for women in crisis settings.
In many of the contexts where we operate, service disruptions, malnutrition, and limited hygiene conditions continue to weaken women’s health and limit continuity of care.
Acted works to remove barriers to services (Zero Exclusion), strengthen the resilience of health infrastructures and systems in the face of climate change (Zero Carbon), and address the economic challenges that prevent women from seeking care (Zero Poverty), through integrated, context-driven responses.
Concrete examples of this approach on the ground:
🧠 Mental health and nutrition – in Gaza: Psychosocial care, safe spaces, and malnutrition screening for women and children to reduce health risks linked to prolonged stress and pregnancy.
⚕️ Care for survivors of violence – in the DRC: Medical treatment, psychosocial support, and economic assistance to address immediate needs and support recovery.
🧼 Menstrual health and livelihoods – in Myanmar: Local production and distribution of reusable menstrual products, improving health and dignity while generating income.
🏥 Healthcare access and referrals – in Chad: Medical consultations and community-based referral mechanisms to strengthen care pathways.
