Transforming health care

A group marches down a street holding a large banner for ROMI and the Movimiento de Mujeres con Poder Constituyente, displaying the message about building a plurinational state for the well-being of women and communities. Behind the banner, participants carry illustrated signs. Buildings and vehicles line the background.

ROMI members organize and participate in local marches to promote women’s rights and inclusion in decision-making spaces.

What is feminist health care?

Our counterparts show us what this means every day: community- based care with autonomy, dignity and rights at its core.

In this bulletin, you will meet women in rural Guatemala bringing care for survivors of violence closer to home; health workers in the Philippines ensuring sexual health care is accessible to all; and, a doctor from Burma helping to build an inclusive, federal health system.

They are strengthening health care through courage, solidarity and collective action—we are honoured to accompany them in this vital work.

WHAT'S INSIDE

In your February Bulletin, our counterparts show us what a feminist approach to health looks like in practice.

For survivors of gender-based violence in Ixcán, Guatemala, the road to care and justice is long— literally and figuratively.

In September 2025, we brought Dr. Lian, and other health leaders from Burma we support, to Canada to meet with health organizations.

In the Philippines, restrictive laws and religious conservatism limit everyone’s access to sexual and reproductive health care.
