Indigenous Women's Health

Indigenous women's health refers to the unique health challenges and needs faced by Indigenous women, influenced by their cultural, social, and historical contexts. These women often experience higher rates of chronic illnesses, mental health issues, and barriers to accessing healthcare due to systemic inequalities, such as racism and poverty. Additionally, cultural practices and traditional healing methods can play a vital role in their health and well-being. Addressing Indigenous women’s health requires a holistic approach that respects their traditions, promotes equity, and acknowledges the impact of colonialism while ensuring access to quality healthcare services.
