Health could be taken much more seriously and not taken for granted

"The cost of authoritarianism on women’s health"| The Hill 

https://thehill.com/opinion/international/3260447-the-cost-of-authoritarianism-on-womens-health/  

"Ukraine is far from the only place where women — and their health – are suffering because of what authoritarians and other rogue actors have done. In crisis after crisis, women have been terrorized through sexual violence, physical and psychological trauma, as well as state-imposed inequity. Even when their bodies aren’t the battleground upon which conflicts are waged, their health is sacrificed as the services and care specific to women’s health — including the ability to manage regular menstrual cycles — disappear. The full impact of conflict and oppression on women’s well-being is unfortunately often overlooked by global stakeholders focused on immediate security and humanitarian concerns. But this must change."
