** Moonshot Progress: Women’s Health
------------------------------------------------------------

Being born a woman shouldn’t be a health risk factor. But in much of the world, it is. For too long, women have suffered under an unequal power paradigm, and it’s compromised the quality of healthcare they receive. At StartUp Health our global army of Health Transformers (https://startuphealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b5e9c627761550fb3157fdb9&id=52ced66a35&e=ec25e68ef1) is building a global Women’s Health Moonshot (https://startuphealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b5e9c627761550fb3157fdb9&id=fe5ff83e82&e=ec25e68ef1) . The mission: Close the gender gap and widen the aperture on the definition of women’s health, moving beyond the current litmus test — sexual and reproductive health — to a standard of living well.

This week, in celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8 (https://startuphealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b5e9c627761550fb3157fdb9&id=172dd27107&e=ec25e68ef1) , we spotlight several of our female Health Transformers and stories of progress from our Women’s Health Moonshot:
