1. Joint Project: Women’s Health Space
Launched at the end of 2021, the Women’s Health Space is a place dedicated to all people who identify as women*, designed to address the physical and mental health of women* through a feminist perspective and practices.
Located outside of hospital institutions and other traditional health facilities, this space offers an environment of trust, exchange, mutual aid, and sharing. It is a “safe space” where women* can feel comfortable discussing their health.
The primary objective of the Women’s Health Space is to create connections, build self-confidence, and support women* in managing their health. Each month, the space offers preventive and health promotion actions through collective activities such as informative and practical workshops as well as discussion groups. The focus is on helping women* take ownership of their bodies and their health in a broad sense, enabling them to live better.
