Women's health is more than medicine. The many social barriers to good health for women and girls can be difficult to discuss, agree on, and resolve. Health Actions for Women provides a wealth of clearly explained and engagingly illustrated activities, strategies and stories that address the social obstacles and practices that prevent women and girls from enjoying healthy lives, and strengthens efforts to

• challenge violence against women
• improve access to family planning
• foster safe motherhood
• counteract the harmful effects of restrictive gender roles
• promote strategies for achieving better sexual health
• ensure that health services meet the needs of women and girls

This invaluable companion resource to Hesperian's Where Women Have No Doctor has been field-tested with community groups in 23 countries to help women, girls, men and boys to open up community discussion and create avenues for change. If you've ever faced awkward silence - or stony opposition - when trying to bring issues of sex, gender and health into a group discussion, this is the book for you.
