It’s Women’s Health Week!

Women’s Health Week is a nation-wide campaign of events and online activities – all centred on improving women’s health and helping women make healthier choices. For women across Australia, it’s a reminder to set aside time for health and wellbeing; make an appointment for a health check, get active, join an event or simply connect with other women.

This year on Baha’i Blog we’re taking the week to explore topics and themes around the event, across all our channels. You can check back on this post throughout the week to find posts, images and videos in celebration of the week!

Here’s what we’ve shared so far:

• An inspiring article from Sonjel about the Lessons on Encouragement She Learned from At-Home Workout Videos
• Quotes about the effect of happiness on health, material and spiritual healing, and the equality of women and men.
• A beautiful animation from Baha’i artist Esther Maloney inspired by the words of Abdu’l-Baha about the coming feminine age
• Australian Baha’is Ine, Sophie and Cherie share their reflections for women’s health week on TikTok
• Diana shares her insights on a holistic approach to health in a bite-size interview
• Lorraine offers us some insights into maintaining our physical health in order to best be of service to others
• A video showcasing excerpts come from the Baha’i International Community’s statements on Women and Health to the 43rd Session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women
• A two-part animation where we’re exploring the topics of period poverty and of normalising discussions about periods as means to creating equality

Here are a few resources already found on Baha’i Blog that may be of interest:

• An article by Nadia about how Normalizing Menstruation Promotes Equality. Period.
• A tribute to the incredible Dr. Susan Moody – A Dedicated Pioneer Doctor
• A video of a short talk by Emily Baldoni on the Spiritual Power of the Feminine Qualities
