The Canadian Women’s Health Network CWHN was created in 1993 as a voluntary national organization to improve the health and lives of girls and women in Canada and the world by collecting, producing, distributing and sharing knowledge, ideas, education, information, resources, strategies and inspirations.We are a farreaching web of researchers and activists, mothers, daughters, caregivers, and family members, people working in community clinics and on hospital floors, at the university, in provincial and federal health ministries, and in women’s organizations, all dedicated to bettering women’s health and equality.We are guided by a womancentred vision of health and wellness and believe that in order to improve the health status of women we must address social and economic conditions such as education, housing, environment and gender which all impact on health.We recognize and respect the diverse needs and realities of women’s lives, and take an active stance to prevent iscrimination based on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, age, ability, language and geographic region.We function in English and French, and endeavor to provide access to materials in other languages and alternative formats.
