Empowering Women Nurses Can Make a Difference.

Women are integral to health promotion and academic excellence. To date, women have been faced with ongoing challenges in achieving their goals clinically and scientifically. In order to try to overcome some of such challenges, dedicated strategies are needed to support the advancement of women socially, professionally and health wise.

Such an approach needs local, regional and global advocacy to support
women in their efforts to be fully integrated into modern medical and scientific
societies. A survey in Australia checked the health promotion role of
doctors in a women’s and community health centers and in private practices.

The Middle East Cancer Consortium, as a regional organization of individuals,
clinical and academic institutions had a unique opportunity to promote the role of gender in health. We have found that there is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.

Moreover, we feel that no policy is more important in reducing conflict or in achieving reconciliation. A study in Nepal concluded that the empowerment of female community health volunteers will bring sustainable
change in women’s performance and will consequently produce notable improvement in the health of women and children, in particular, and in the community, in general.

It is clear that at least in developing countries, there are social and cultural barriers that
hinder the empowerment of women. Women’s low status, deprivation of education and lack of control over their own lives and bodies have a negative impact on their professional development be it in medicine or science.
