Still there is no similar situation for men and women in all respects. The problems are in the center of the activities of the public administration, the multinational organizations such as WHO, UNICEF, and the population. All health programs, which were begun in the last ten to fifteen years, to have its goal however does not reach. So nice you speak about the situation. But will it eventually change? We can just leave our hopes for the moment, as long as male behaviour like wars are more important than female attitudes like flexibility Adding to your interesting article I have to raise a clear point: Are women not already loosing in our western world?

I have heard of womenshealth.gov before so you're right. The <a href="http://docs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf" rel="nofollow">legislation </a>very clearly states on pg. 1609 <blockquote>23 ‘‘(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICE.—There is estab24 lished within the Office of the Secretary, an Office on 25 Women’s Health (referred to in this section as the ‘Of26 fice’).</blockquote> So honestly I have no idea what's going on. Why would they include this in the legislation? Thank you for posting this. I have heard of womenshealth.gov before so you’re right. The legislation very clearly states on pg. 1609

23 ‘‘(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICE.—There is estab24
lished within the Office of the Secretary, an Office on
25 Women’s Health (referred to in this section as the ‘Of26
fice’).

So honestly I have no idea what’s going on. Why would they include this in the legislation?

The National Women's Health Information Center that they menion (in Sec. 2588) has also been up for 11 years (www.womenshealth.gov) and has been helping women and girls (www.girlshealth.g0v, also run by the U.S. DHHS Office on Women's Health) for some time now. Womenshealth.gov offers information, resources, tips, and news on health topics ranging from cancers to pregnancy. They also run the National Breastfeeding Helpline (800-994-9662) which gives the public access to breastfeeding peer counselors who can offer breastfeeding support and answer questions in English and Spanish. Cheers to the federal government for creating such great (and FREE) resources for women! P.S. The FDA and the CDC's Offices on Women's Health have long been established too...
