About the Sex, Gender and Women's Health Research Hub
The Sex, Gender and Women's Health Research Hub (SGWH*) focuses on research, knowledge translation and implementation science in order to drive collaborative change in how female reproductive healthcare in Alberta is delivered.
Women's health is critically underfunded, under-researched and often overlooked in public health systems worldwide. Women face significant disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and access to healthcare services, particularly in areas like reproductive health, mental health and chronic diseases.
The Sex, Gender and Women's Health Research Hub is dedicated to addressing these critical gaps in women’s health research and care by:
- Conducting leading-edge research to highlight the gaps in women's health care and inform systemic change.
- Engaging the public through educational events, media and grassroots collaborations to raise awareness and drive action.
- Advancing women’s health literacy by developing tools and resources that empower women to seek better care.
Your support makes a lasting impact in women's health research
