International Day of Action for

Women’s Health

2022 Call for Action

Health is our most basic human right.  Well functioning health ecosystems such as nutrition, food security, clean air, fresh water, medicines, cultural and spiritual values, local livelihoods and economic development provide goods and services essential for human health.  They can also help to limit disease and stabilize the climate.

Climate change threatens to erode the environmental determinants of health, destabilize health systems, and undermine efforts towards sustainable development. Climate change threatens health with the severest impacts being felt by children, the poor and women.

BUDS works among poor and marginalized communities,  who are more likely to face elevated health risks from environmental change. It can  worsen their developmental challenges, and further weakens their ability to respond to health risks.

At BUDS, on the occasion of the World Health Day, we request  you to support rights-based approaches for the marginalized children and their families. This shall help them overcome the vicious cycles of poverty and realize rights to health, which are central elements to their sustainable development.
