Chapter 2: Communities Organize for Women's Health
When people think about improving women’s health they often think about treating the specific health problems an individual woman experiences, and this is important. But improving women’s health also means working with others to make changes that affect the health of all of the girls and women in a community. That process of community organizing often involves many steps, with more and more people getting involved with each step.

When communities address the conditions that affect women’s health, everyone in the community can benefit.
