Women’s Wellbeing Matters
Good health is about a feeling of well-being
in our bodies, our emotions and our spirits.
Women have the right to feel confident and
to be assertive about what we need. This
builds emotional well-being.
Our feelings of well-being can be
influenced by things like television and
magazine images of women; our work
place; money problems; housing issues and
our friends and family.
We can increase our health and well-being
by building on the strengths and skills we
already have.
