Advocacy Priorities
Menstrual, reproductive and sexual health inequities in healthcare create challenges for women of all ages and stages in life. In order to help individuals navigate and access support in various facets of women’s health, our advocacy work is focused around the following 5 pillars:
- Equitable Access - Ensuring women regardless of race, sexual identity, socioeconomic states or geographical location within Ontario have equitable access to healthcare.
- Redistribution of Funds - Advocating for how the provincial government allocates their healthcare funds to ensure the perspectives of women are considered
- Service Delivery and Efficiency - Establishing that wait times, billing codes, access to specialist care, sharing of patient records and other services are as efficient as possible for both medical practitioners and patients.
- Clinical Research - Ensuring health research conducted is focused equally on women’s health experiences.
- Improved Digital Health - Assuring that digital healthcare addresses any existing inequities within its technology, as well as supporting more femtech health industries.
