12th International Women’s Meeting

The International Women and Health Meeting (IWHM) is an international forum for women’s grassroots organizations, academics, and advocates promoting women’s
health, sexual and reproductive rights. The 12th meeting organised by Colectiva Mujer y Salud with the support of the International and local organising committees will take place from October 20 to 23, 2015 in Santo Domingo,
the Dominican Republic.

The 12th meeting will be a space for women and organisations fighting for the rights and status of women to discuss, analyse, share and reflect on strategies
to improve the health of women worldwide. The IWHM is based on three fundamental principles: 

1. Health as a fundamental right for people.
2. Equality as a prerequisite for the full exercise of the right to health.
3. Distributive justice for women in the North and South.
