How we promote the health of girls and women

The Women's Healthy Living Secretariat exercises stewardship for public health services related to promoting the health of B.C. girls and women. We recognize that the health of girls and women is grounded in:

  • the context of women’s lives
  • the roles women play
  • the expectations that girls encounter, and
  • the opportunities available to girls and women. 
We invest resources strategically, based on the best available research, data and evidence of best outcomes.  Together with key stakeholders, we promote health so girls and women in B.C. can be supported in living the healthiest lives possible.
