The Luxembourg Ministry of Health and Social Security has launched the first edition of Women’s Health Week.
This new national initiative aims to better inform, raise awareness and mobilise around women-specific health issues. It also seeks to help break the taboos that still surround many aspects of women’s health, which are too often trivialised, underdiagnosed or insufficiently considered.
Too often, women’s health is still not recognised for its true importance. With this first Women’s Health Week, we are sending a strong message: speaking openly about women’s health, strengthening prevention and improving access to information.
Martine Deprez, Minister of Health and Social Security
Throughout the week, numerous partners – associations, public institutions and healthcare professionals –offer a varied programme across the country, including conferences, workshops, awareness-raising activities, cultural events and consultations.
The aim is to promote a comprehensive, inclusive and accessible approach to women’s health by creating opportunities for dialogue between experts, healthcare professionals and members of the public.
The events explored two major women’s health issues: endometriosis and menopause. They aimed to improve understanding of these conditions, dispel common misconceptions, and encourage dialogue with specialists.
A national campaign to highlight symptoms that are too often trivialised
Women’s Health Week will be accompanied by a multichannel communication campaign aimed at raising public awareness of symptoms affecting women that are still too often minimised or ignored.
The campaign will include posters and visual materials, social media content, radio adverts, personal testimonies and the distribution of awareness-raising materials.
With this first edition, Luxembourg is taking an important step towards strengthening prevention, improving information and better recognising women’s specific health needs.
