Our vision is a society in which every woman is provided with the opportunity to achieve, sustain, and maintain health as defined by that woman herself, to her full potential. The OWHN is a network of individuals and organizations that promote women's health. Health is therefore seen as a resource for everyday life.
Health is a positive concept emphasizing social, physical and personal resources.
Health can only be achieved by addressing the social, economic and political conditions of women's lives. We are a women-centred organization. We value diversity in all its forms. We believe in the self-determination of all women. We believe in a holistic view of women's health.
