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.

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.

Cold Season, Warm Hearts: Understanding Loneliness + Advancing Women’s Health Through Research

As we settle into winter in Canada, it’s a good time to focus on mental health. The colder temperatures, shorter days, and reduced access to outdoor activities can affect emotional well-being. Many people experience feelings of isolation or loneliness during this season. Simple steps—like maintaining a routine, reaching out to loved ones, or staying active—can help support mental and physical health.

While mental health and loneliness is a concern for everyone, some groups face unique challenges. In Canada, 37% of seniors report feeling isolated often or some of the time, which can exacerbate loneliness. Older women often report higher rates of loneliness, influenced by factors like widowhood, living alone, caregiving roles, and financial insecurity. Loneliness poses risks to health and longevity, and is linked to chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, depression, and dementia, so tackling loneliness using gender-specific strategies is crucial.

New research in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, led by Rachel Savage, PhD, of the Women’s Age Lab at Women’s College Hospital Institute, highlights the healthcare patterns of lonely older adults. The study finds that lonely seniors—both women and men—were more likely to need home-care and long-term care. Notably, the women who reported the highest levels of loneliness also had the greatest probability of moving to these care settings. This further underscores the need for gender-specific approaches to addressing loneliness and the provision of care for seniors.

Creating opportunities for connection—through phone calls, shared meals, or community activities—can make a meaningful difference. Investing in women’s health research is also critical for addressing areas that remain underfunded and understudied. By understanding the specific healthcare needs of women at every stage of life, we can create targeted solutions that improve women’s health in meaningful ways.

This winter, let’s prioritize mental health. By checking in on a friend, practicing self-care, or advocating for mental health resources, we can all contribute to fostering well-being. Together, we can build a future where women’s health is recognized and supported all year long.

WHCC Welcomes Executive Director, Amy Flood

One of the most exciting moments of 2024 has to be the appointment this November of Amy Flood as our first Executive Director. Amy will serve as the lead fundraiser and spokesperson for WHCC, while strengthening business operations and fostering vital connections with member hospitals and programs nationwide.

To gain insight into Amy’s goals and aspirations for the future of women’s health, we asked her a few questions about the challenges and what we can do, collectively and as individuals, to address them.

Much has been said about the gender gap in health research and outcomes – how would you describe the challenge?

AF: This is a tangible reality unfortunately. I’ve been living it and feeling it. From fertility, to postpartum, to the next phase and stage in my life. I feel there is little knowledge about the differences in female biology and how that impacts us both physically and mentally. It impacts how we work, parent, and both our personal and professional life daily.

What are three things that we can do to address this issue right now?

AF: First and foremost, talk about it. The more we share our stories and experiences, the more we know we are not alone, and the more we can validate that what we are feeling is real with substantive causes.

Second, advocate for better policies, research, and healthcare . Raise awareness of the realities, facts and stats with a strong emphasis on change.

Third, raise funds! Without financial investment, the research required to implement change will not be possible.

What are you excited about in the field of women’s health today?

AF: I’m excited about the movement and momentum that is happening right now for women at large. From political and executive leadership, to women in sport, to the recognition that our biology and health needs are dramatically different. I’m even more excited that Canada is taking the lead on many of these fronts to implement change. I’m excited for more answers. I’m excited for a more informed future for my daughter and the next generation of leaders.

Why do you think we are seeing the topic of women’s health get so much attention lately?

AF: Women are over half of the population, and are playing larger roles in society than ever before. They are front and centre, carrying significant societal responsibilities, yet still expected to manage much of the traditional household roles.  They are uniting, talking, and advocating for each other. Support groups and organizations are forming to champion this, workplaces are evolving, and coverage on the topic is growing in media and other channels. Women are lifting other women, and society is responding.

What are your hopes for the future of women’s health in Canada? In the near term, and the long term?

AF: In the near term, I hope the momentum continues to grow. That the government will make a significant investment in the research and systems change requirements to right-size healthcare for women. I also hope that individuals and corporations will join us on our mission, and help contribute both financially and be helping raise educating and awareness.

In the long term, I hope the research will translate into findings and explanations that can help women not only cope better with their symptoms and experiences, but can lead to early detection, early intervention, better diagnoses, possibly even prevention and most importantly  more equitable healthcare overall.

Educate, Advocate + Mobilize: A Q+A with Jennifer Gillivan

This past month WHCC welcomed a new member, the IWK Foundation located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The IWK Foundation raises funds to support IWK Health which is renowned for its comprehensive research and healthcare services for women and children across the Maritimes and beyond.

To learn more about the IWK Foundation and the vision of its leadership for the future of women’s health, we asked Jennifer Gillivan, President + CEO about current priorities, the road ahead, and what we can do to get there. To keep reading about the IWK Foundation and IWK Health visit www.iwkfoundation.org.

What do you see as the priority areas in women’s health research today?

JG: We need to ensure there is a gender variable stream of research done across the board. Canada is one of the first countries to require gender variable to be included in research, but we don’t enforce it.  Once we have gender specific research – which is the first line of precision medicine – then, we will have the data we need to properly ensure we are treating women’s health according to their bodies.

Are there projects or initiatives happening at the IWK Foundation or IWK Health that you are particularly excited about?

JG: The IWK Foundation is working towards launching a campaign focused on women’s health which will involve sharing women’s perceptions of their health gaps, building tools to help support their specific health journeys and sharing stories that will give women a voice so we can fully understand what needs to be done to improve women’s health.

What is your vision for the future of women’s health and research? 

JG: I think we need big changes. Let’s be brave. As far as I can tell, Canada hasn’t had a women’s health strategy since 1999. We need a Canadian Women’s Health Strategy, provincial Women’s Health authorities and Ministers of Women’s Health. And let’s created a Research Institute that is world class and focused on women’s health.

We must EDUCATE and inform women so we can ADVOCATE for change and MOBILIZE to push for that change so we can EQUALIZE health care and research system. At IWK, we have set our sights not just locally, but nationally and internationally, and we are joining a global movement that is on the level of the suffragette movement that happened over one hundred years ago.

How can we all, as members of the public, support women’s health? 

JG: As a woman, share your stories. Ask for better awareness, education and support in your area. We can’t do it alone. Educate the men in your life and get them engaged as well. And if you are able to support research through fundraising campaigns, then do that. Women deserve treatment, prescriptions and care based on our bodies.

About the IWK Foundation
The IWK Foundation is a champion of excellence in women’s and children’s health and medicine and works in partnership with IWK Health to support their vision of providing quality care to women, children, youth and families in the Maritime Provinces and beyond.

October is World Menopause Month

October is World Menopause Month and an excellent opportunity to highlight the forward progress made by researchers and healthcare practitioners around the world on the understanding, awareness and treatment of menopause. Never before, it seems, has there been so much attention dedicated to this important topic in media and public discourse. This conversation is a meaningful development and progress in itself. But there is more work to be done to reduce stigma, advance knowledge and ensure that all women have access to high quality care.

A 2023 survey by the Alberta Women’s Health Foundation called Surveying the Silence showed that many women feel uncomfortable talking about menopause-related symptoms and that this can have a detrimental effect on their personal and professional lives, overall well being, and their ability to get care. 

Bringing menopause out of the shadows and to the forefront of public conversation not only helps combat potential shame, but creates opportunities for women, their doctors, families and communities to learn more about the topic, alleviate stigma and receive proper care. 

Treatment, too, has improved and become more widely accessible alongside a growing body of research that supports the efficacy of various options. The World Menopause Society has designated “hormone therapy” as the theme of this year’s month of recognition. A timely and relevant theme as this type of treatment becomes increasingly well-known among women and their doctors and offers hope for women experiencing symptoms. 

In a 2023 review by a team that included Women’s College Hospital researchers, Dr. Iliana Lega and Dr. Michelle Jacobson, the authors lay out a pragmatic approach to the management of menopause, pointing to hormone therapy as a safe and effective first-line treatment to be considered by women and their physicians. According to research cited in the review, hormone therapy has been shown to improve vasomotor symptoms by as much as 90% in patients with moderate-to-severe hot flushes. It can also improve sleep quality and reduce mood disturbances. These are promising results that have the potential to significantly improve women’s quality of life, offering hope for those with symptoms. 

Great progress has been made when it comes to public awareness and treatment of menopause. But there is more work to do and knowledge needed, such as optimal hormonal formulations, duration of treatment, and alternative or non-hormonal treatment options. That’s why researchers supported by WHCC member foundations across Canada are working to move forward our collective knowledge around menopause. This includes the effect of menopause on women’s bodies and mental and emotional health, as well as treatment options. 

For further information, check out this episode of the Rebel Mama Hotline podcast with Dr. Nese Yuksel, President of the Menopause Society of Canada, and clinician at the Lois Hole Hospital for Women in Edmonton, Alberta. 

Vichy Laboratoires Launches Hormonall to Empower Women’s Wellbeing in Canada, In Partnership with Wellbeing of Women and Supporting Women’s Health Collective Canada

MONTREALOct. 18, 2024 – Vichy Laboratoires, a renowned skincare brand recommended by 70,000 dermatologists globally, announces the Canadian launch of Hormonall, a program going beyond skincare to support women through every life stage. Recognizing the impact of hormonal changes on women’s holistic wellbeing, Hormonall provides access to trustworthy information, resources, and a supportive community.

“We are thrilled to bring Hormonall to Canadian women,” said Marie-Pier Michaud, General Manager, Vichy Laboratoires Canada. “This initiative goes beyond skincare, empowering women with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate their hormonal changes with confidence.”

2 OUT OF 3 WOMEN STRUGGLE IN SILENCE WHEN FACING HORMONAL CHANGES FEELING MISUNDERSTOOD, UNSUPPORTED OR UNINFORMED*

A KANTAR quantitative study of over 2,000 women in countries around the world found that two out of three struggle in silence when facing the impact of hormonal changes on their mental and physical wellbeing, feeling misunderstood, unsupported or uninformed. Women share these feelings regardless of age, background, or country.

THREE REASONS: LACK OF RESEARCH, CONVERSATION & EDUCATION

There are three causes of societal misunderstanding and individual loneliness related to hormonal wellbeing.

First, a lack of prioritisation of women’s health in the health care system in the field of women’s health. Women make up 51% of the population, and yet women’s health research receives only 7% of federal health research funding in Canada.

Second, a lack of conversation fed by taboos, stigmas and shame. Women are not encouraged to share their burdens or to ask for support. And no one is listening to them.

Third, a lack of education. There isn’t enough information about hormonal changes, and the little information that is available is sometimes misleading or overwhelming, causing more confusion and fear.

HORMONALL , A 3-PRONGED APPROACH:

RESEARCH, EDUCATION & CULTURAL SHIFT

  • Advancing Research & Improving Care: Vichy is supporting Women’s Health Collective Canada (WHCC), with a donation of $135,000 to fund vital women’s health research and close gaps in the care women receive. “Too many women in Canada continue to feel as though they are in the dark when it comes to aspects of their health, such as hormonal changes and how they can be managed,” says Cally Wesson, President and CEO, BC Women’s Health Foundation, a founding member of WHCC. “Too few women have the information they need to make fully empowered decisions when it comes to their hormonal health or know that treatment options exist. WHCC is grateful to Vichy for elevating this important conversation and championing women’s health. Vichy’s contribution supports research that is helping to create a healthier future for all women.”
  • Giving Voice to Women’s Experiences: Through powerful testimonials from Canadian ambassadors like entrepreneur Jessica Miao and menopause expert Shirley Weir, Hormonall encourages women to share their stories and break down the barriers of silence.
  • Providing Accessible Education: In collaboration with Wellbeing of Women UK, Hormonall offers four free rigorous 15-minutes e-learning modules covering key life stages: puberty, menstrual cycles, postpartum, and menopause. These concise modules equip women with the knowledge to navigate their hormonal journeys with confidence. Each module is highly interactive with a focus on design and user-experience.

Launching on World Menopause Day, October 18th, Hormonall.com will become a dedicated hub for women’s wellbeing. This free and anonymous platform offers educational resources and fosters a supportive community for all individuals experiencing hormonal transitions.
