“Women’s health is still treated as optional or secondary.”

At the World Health Summit 2025, Kriti Sanon, UNFPA India’s Honorary Ambassador for Gender Equality, highlighted a deeper challenge: changing mindsets in a world where women’s health is still too often seen as something that can wait.    With International Women’s Day on Sunday, March 8, it’s a timely reminder: women’s health is not optional. It’s essential and long overdue for sustained investment.
