INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 2006:
CWHN LAUNCHES NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN, LAST CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN 
WOMEN’S HEALTH STRATEGY SURVEY

In honour of International Women’s Day 2006, the Canadian Women’s Health 
Network (CWHN) is launching a national publicity campaign to deliver fast 
facts on how timely health issues and debates affect women in Canada. The 
first set of the “Don’t Swallow Everything You Hear about Women’s Health” 
series includes bilingual posters on women and pharmaceuticals and a fact 
sheet on what women should know about for-profit health care. They can be 
downloaded from the CWHN website or ordered from the CWHN.

This week also marks the final opportunity for individuals who are 
interested in the future of Canada’s Women’s Health Strategy to add their 
voices to CWHN’s online survey. The electronic consultation aims to 
identify what Canadians think of the Strategy, which is currently under 
review. To date, 627 Canadians have commented. We encourage anyone 
interested in the health of women and girls to participate in the survey 
before Wednesday, March 15th, 2006. CWHN will report the results of the 
survey to the federal government to help them with their review process. 
The results of the survey will be made public in the coming months.

Strategy Survey, go to www.cwhn.ca. For hard copies, email [log in to unmask],
