The empowerment of women still stands as a crucial aim, intricately intertwined with numerous facets of societal progress, including health and well-being. Recognizing that women often bear the brunt of health disparities and face unique challenges, adopting a holistic approach becomes imperative. This approach encompasses not only physical health but also mental, emotional, and social well-being, acknowledging the intricate interplay between these dimensions. By addressing the multifaceted nature of women's health, we can better understand and confront issues such as gender-based violence, reproductive health rights, access to healthcare, the impact of gender and socio-economic factors on well-being, and the burden of diseases such as cancer, including breast cancer. Unequal treatment of women and men has negative health consequences and is discriminatory in many instances. Health services and aftercare need to take into account the gender dimension to fully meet women’s needs. Empowering women in this holistic sense involves fostering environments where women have agency over their bodies, access to comprehensive healthcare services, and the resources necessary to lead fulfilling lives.
