Excellence in Health & Wellbeing
Janani; the beginning of life and mother who gives birth to a child is not only mother, sister but caretakers, conscience, farmers, educators and entrepreneurs and the most integral important part of our health & wellbeing in life.
“When women are empowered and can claim their rights and access to land, leadership, opportunities and choices, economies grow, food security is enhanced and prospects are improved for current and future generations.”
– Michelle Bachelet, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women
Throughout history, the central role of women in society has ensured the stability, progress and long-term development of nations starting from the first 1000days of a woman when she starts taking care of her health and the health of her infant and growing child. Globally, women comprise 43 percent of the world’s agricultural labor force – rising to 70 percent in some countries. Today, the median female share of the global workforce is 45.4 percent. Women’s formal and informal labor can transform a community from a relatively autonomous society to a participant in the national economy. Despite significant obstacles, women’s small businesses in rural developing communities not only can be an extended family’s lifeline, but can form a networked economic foundation for future generations. The role of women in the urban and rural workforce has expanded exponentially in recent decades. Women, notably mothers, play the largest role in decision-making about family overall health starting from meal planning and diet. And, women self-report more often their initiative in preserving child health and nutrition.
The contribution of women to a healthy society’s transition from pre-literate to literate likewise is undeniable.
It is the mother in the family who most often urges children of both genders to eat healthy, attend – and stay – in school. The role of women is at the front end of the chain of improvements leading to healthy families, and the community’s long-term capacity.
