Addressing women's needs at the workplace

Abstract

This presentation provides an overview of the importance of addressing women's needs in the workplace. It will explore the intersection of women's health and work and the unique health challenges that women face in the workplace. It highlights the increased risks and experiences of occupational health hazards and work-related illnesses that affect women more than men. The presentation discusses strategies for addressing women's needs in the workplace and how academic and health practitioners play a crucial role in promoting women's health and well-being in the workplace. It emphasizes the importance of advocacy, research, education, resources, and treatment for health challenges related to work. Overall, the presentation emphasizes that by working together, we can create gender-inclusive and supportive work environments that improve women's health outcomes, promote gender equality, and contribute to economic growth and social development. Promoting gender equity and women's health and well-being in the workplace is therefore not just a women's issue but a societal issue that affects everyone. By giving attention to women's needs within the context of work, we can help create a more just and equitable society for all.
