Introducing the AVA Women’s & Girls’ Health Hub:
A Beacon for Equitable Care
The AVA Women’s Health Hub is our latest endeavor, aimed at mobilizing and scaling up knowledge and models of practice to revolutionize healthcare for girls, women, and gender-diverse people (GWGDP) affected by violence and adversity. We recognize the urgent need for more equitable, culturally safe, and holistic healthcare, as well as improved access to care for this vulnerable population.
Health and social services agencies catering to GWGDP at-risk/affected by adversity and family violence, including gender-based violence, are in critical need of support to better implement effective models of care. Without such support, adverse childhood experiences remain unaddressed, and rates of family and gender-based violence continue to rise, exacerbating health outcomes.
Working together to make things better!
Emerging from the Alliance against Violence and Adversity (AVA) Health Research Training Platform (HRTP), the AVA Health Hubs seek to mobilize and or scale up newly generated and existing knowledge and models of practice to advance more equitable, culturally safe, holistic health care and access to care for girls, women, and gender-diverse people (GWGDP) affected by violence and adversity.
