Women’s Health Research Month Is Here!

This March, Women’s Health Collective Canada is marking Women’s Health Research Month and calling on Canadians to join us.

This March, Women’s Health Collective Canada is marking Women’s Health Research Month and calling on Canadians to join us.

Despite making up half the population, women’s health receives just 6% of national health research funding — and that needs to change.

We’re on a mission to support groundbreaking research that leads to better care, safer treatments, and a healthier future for all women. Inspired by our member BC Women’s Health Foundation, which launched the first Women’s Health Research Month in 2023, we’re expanding this movement and shining a light on both the urgent need for funding and the incredible research happening across Canada.

Research saves lives. Your support fuels the research that drives innovative treatments, improves access to care, and creates lasting change for generations to come.

Fund the facts, join the movement. Give now and help us build a healthier future for all women.
