About This Event:
CLOSING THE GENDER WEALTH GAP FORUM: HEALTH AND HEALING
April 9, 2025 | 4:00 PM EST | Free, Virtual Event
When we have access to safe, healing spaces and full health services, we can rest, thrive, and better contribute to our communities. This event will explore the deep connections between health, equity, and healing -- and the ways these factors drive gender economic justice.
Across four virtual events this year, our Closing the Gender Wealth Gap series will spotlight the changemakers and organizations working across key dimensions of the Gender Wealth Framework - a tool developed by WOMEN’S WAY to promote dignity, equity, and joy in our communities. This Framework is based on five key pillars: 1) Health and Healing; 2) Stability and Opportunity; 3) Freedom, Joy, and Belonging; 4) Family and Community Care; 5) Resource Navigation and Support. Learn more about the Gender Wealth Framework here.
