Women make up 51% of our population yet many common women’s health issues have been routinely overlooked and receive little funding. From period problems to menopause and fertility to miscarriage, many gynaecological health issues are still shrouded in stigma, leaving women in pain and feeling silenced. This affectall aspects of their lives. 

We want to change this legacy. Women are the cornerstone of our society and when we get it right for women and girls, everyone benefits. 

Wellbeing of Women's aims to ensure that women’s lives are not limited by their gynaecological and reproductive health. We do this by investing in world class research, championing education, challenging stigma, influencing guidelines, policy and practice, and empowering women to advocate for themselves. Every year, millions of women benefit from our research, campaigns and health information.

Since 1964, we’ve invested more than £66 million in research to transform women’s health and wellbeing. Many of the routine tests, treatments and cures we now take for granted were started with research funded by Wellbeing of Women — including the use of ultrasound scanning in pregnancy and benefits of supplementing folic acid while pregnant. 

Wellbeing of Women is tackling the taboos surrounding women’s health and striving towards a better future for every woman, girl and baby.
