Y7 Summit Communique 2022

Women’s Health | Recommendation

In 2030, we want a world where women in all their diversity, inclusive of gender identity, are safe. Tackling gender-based violence and gender discrimination in healthcare (research and treatment) must be prioritised. Sexual and reproductive health and rights must be guaranteed.

1.2 As per SDGs 3.1, 3.7 and 3.8, the

underdiagnosis of diseases in women and gender differences in symptoms must be addressed. By 2025, more than five per cent of healthcare and research investment into women-specific health research is required. In addition, G7 members should raise public awareness of such diseases. 1.3 Recognising that abortions occur irrespective of legality and therefore to reduce the rate of unsafe abortions affecting women’s health, as per SDGs 3.7, 5.6, we urge G7 leaders to make abortion legal, safe, accessible, and affordable, until at least 14 weeks of pregnancy, and later if complications arise. Sufficient aftercare including psychological services should be accessible. Education from age 12 must include sexual and reproductive rights, safe sex practices, and abortion. Contraception must be fully subsidised.

1.1 As per SDGs 5.1, 5.2, in the face of gender-based violence (physical, psychological, cyber, including rape), we demand to fund and provide compehensive training, including monitoring and evaluation by 2025, for public servants to assist victims and children affected. Training should include detecting early warning signs and informing on the material and psychological support, and should be implemented by organisations with proven expertise in protecting women.
