At the National Women’s Health Network, we raise awareness of the many issues affecting women, but we also know that some of those issues affect men! Women’s health doesn’t only impact themselves, but our society as a whole. Healthy individuals are able to build socially and economically healthy societies therefore; we should discuss how women can help men deal with their health issues.</p> <p><a href="http://nwhn.org/2013/06/18/men%E2%80%99s-health-women%E2%80%99s-health-issue" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Mental Health + Gender Stereotypes: What’s In It for Women?</h1> <p>intern — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:10:22 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-blog-author"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Author: </div> Rachel Ruderman, NWHN Intern </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-blog-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Date: </div> <span class="date-display-single">Wed, June 12, 2013</span> </div> </div> </div> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://nwhn.org/2013/06/12/mental-health-gender-stereotypes-what%E2%80%99s-it-women" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Obama Administration Announcement is a Victory for Women’s Health and Science: Access to Emergency Contraception Will Improve</h1> <p>intern — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:16:37 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-blog-author"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Author: </div> Amy Allina, NWHN Program Director </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-blog-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Date: </div> <span class="date-display-single">Tue, June 11, 2013</span> </div> </div> </div> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><strong><em>NWHN celebrates the win for women and cautions that women need affordable options</em></strong></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><strong>Statement of Amy Allina, Program Director, National Women’s Health Network</strong></p> <p align="center"><strong>June 11, 2013</strong></p> <p><a href="http://nwhn.org/2013/06/11/obama-administration-announcement-victory-women%E2%80%99s-health-and-science-access-emergency-con" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>School might be out… But the rape culture on campuses still exists!</h1> <p>intern — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:10:37 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-blog-author"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Author: </div> Elli Palmer, NWHN Intern </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-blog-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Date: </div> <span class="date-display-single">Mon, June 03, 2013</span> </div> </div> </div> <p>In the recent months conversations about the rape culture prevalent in modern American society have become more and more common. One of the places where this culture is most evident is on college campuses where in the past months it has become clear rape and sexual assault accusations are too often taken with less seriousness than the situations deserve. The administrations of many American colleges and universities have shown insensitivity towards students who have brought stories of sexual assault to their desks.</p> <p><a href="http://nwhn.org/2013/06/03/school-might-be-out%E2%80%A6-rape-culture-campuses-still-exists" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Stop the shame and stigma: show support to young mothers!</h1> <p>intern — Wed, 29 May 2013 21:04:15 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-blog-author"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Author: </div> Charlotte Laniece, NWHN Intern </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-blog-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Date: </div> <span class="date-display-single">Wed, May 29, 2013</span> </div> </div> </div> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://nwhn.org/2013/05/29/stop-shame-and-stigma-show-support-young-mothers" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Challenges to the Contraceptive Coverage Rule: What's at Stake?</h1> <p>shaniqua — Tue, 21 May 2013 17:23:32 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-newsletter-pub-title"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> The Women's Health Activist </div> </div> </div> <p><strong style="font-size: 12.5px;">By Jennifer Lee and Sarah Lipton-Lubet</strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12.5px;">Since the Obama Administration announced in August 2011 that health insurance plans would be required to cover contraceptive care without charging co-pays, over 50 lawsuits have been filed across the country claiming that requiring employers to provide insurance coverage for contraception violates employers’ religious beliefs. The lawsuits may be making headlines, but the Administration’s rule for implementing this policy, which includes a narrow exemption for institutions such as houses of worship, is fully consistent with religious freedom law and principles — not to mention that it is a major advance for women’s health and equality. Nonetheless, with this many cases at play, it is almost certain that at least one of the lawsuits will be heard by the Supreme Court, and the outcome could affect far more than the future of the contraceptive coverage rule.</span></p> <p><a href="http://nwhn.org/newsletter/node/1557" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Springtime: Hope helps, but it’s not enough</h1> <p>shaniqua — Tue, 21 May 2013 17:14:54 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-newsletter-pub-title"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> The Women's Health Activist </div> </div> </div> <p><strong style="font-size: 12.5px;">By Cynthia Pearson</strong></p> <p><a href="http://nwhn.org/newsletter/node/1556" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>NWHN Welcomes New Staff Member, Amirah Tyler</h1> <p>shaniqua — Tue, 21 May 2013 17:12:15 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-newsletter-pub-title"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> The Women's Health Activist </div> </div> </div> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://nwhn.org/newsletter/node/1555" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Membership FAQs</h1> <p>shaniqua — Tue, 21 May 2013 17:10:53 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-newsletter-pub-title"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> The Women's Health Activist </div> </div> </div> <p><strong style="font-size: 12.5px;">By Heidi Gider and Amirah Tyler</strong></p> <p>Our members are the heart and spirit of the Network!

So, last year, HIV/AIDS activists celebrated when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Truvada, a drug that can reduce the risk of HIV infection. Truvada is a combination of two anti-retroviral drugs already used for HIV treatment (tenofovir and emtricitibine); the new approved use is based on research showing that, taken daily before exposure to HIV, the combination offers protection against infection. This is called “pre-exposure prophylaxis,” or (PrEP). </p> <p><a href="http://nwhn.org/newsletter/node/1553" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> </main></body></html>
