SISEAP Women’s Health Forum & Campaign Launch

Saturday 24 October 2026, Registration: Opens after 5 October 2026

Women’s health matters. And it is time to move from awareness to action.

Join Soroptimists from across the SISEAP Federation for the Her Health, Our Wealth Women’s Health Forum & Campaign Launch on Saturday 24 October 2026.

This 80-minute online Forum will officially bring Soroptimists together around the Federation-wide Her Health, Our Wealth campaign, exploring the health challenges affecting women and girls across our region and, importantly, what we can do about them.

The campaign itself focuses on improving women's and girls' health and wellbeing through awareness, prevention, support, advocacy and community-led action.

From Awareness to Action

The Forum is designed to inspire Soroptimists to look beyond identifying health issues and consider how we can create meaningful change in our communities.

Through expert perspectives, lived experience and examples of Soroptimist projects, participants will explore how we can move from awareness and knowledge to action, access and improved health outcomes.

Not every project will reach every stage of the continuum. What matters is identifying the change we want to create and understanding what changed because of our intervention.

What to Expect

Why Her Health, Our Wealth?
Explore why women's health is fundamental to health, human rights, gender equality, economic security and sustainable development.

Women's Health Across SISEAP
A snapshot of women's health across the Federation, highlighting common challenges while recognising the different contexts of our 13 countries.

The Human Story
Hear a compelling lived-experience story highlighting the realities of women's health, with a focus on endometriosis.

Expert Panel: From Awareness to Action
Hear from four perspectives exploring the visibility, access, experience and change gaps in women's health.

Soroptimists in Action
Discover examples of health projects and explore what meaningful Soroptimist action can look like at a local level.

The Campaign Toolkit
Learn about the resources available to support clubs, Regions and National Associations in developing their own health initiatives.

The Call to Action
Discover a simple pathway for turning an identified health issue into meaningful action:

Identify → Connect → Act → Measure → Share

Expert Panel

How do we move from recognising women's health challenges to creating meaningful change?

The Forum's expert panel will explore four different perspectives:

Awareness & Knowledge — The Visibility Gap
What women's health issues remain poorly understood, overlooked or invisible?

Access & Equity — The Access Gap
What prevents women from receiving the healthcare they need, even when services technically exist?

Women's Voice & Lived Experience — The Experience Gap
What are women telling us about their experiences of healthcare, and what are health systems still failing to hear?

Action & System Change — The Change Gap
What can we do differently, and where can advocacy, partnerships and community action make a difference?

The discussion will move beyond identifying problems to exploring practical opportunities for change — and the role Soroptimists can play.

Forum Speakers

Anthea Penny

Joanne Yeoh

Dr. Natasha Vavrek

Lou De Castro-Myles

Why Should Soroptimists Attend?

Her Health, Our Wealth is designed to be locally relevant and Federation-wide in impact.

Regions, National Associations and clubs will be encouraged to identify women's health priorities relevant to their own communities and consider how they can respond through education, awareness-raising, advocacy, partnerships, community engagement and practical projects.

Who is the Forum for?

Club members
Club Programme teams
Regional and National Association leaders
Programme Convenors
Members interested in women's health
Members looking for ideas for future projects

Whether your club already has a women's health project or you are looking for an opportunity to get started, this Forum will provide ideas, inspiration and practical next steps.

Date: Saturday 24 October 2026
Format: Online
Duration: 80 minutes
Registration: Opens after 5 October 2026

Her Health, Our Wealth is a Federation-wide SISEAP campaign bringing Soroptimists together to strengthen the health and wellbeing of women and girls across our communities.

The campaign recognises that healthier women contribute to stronger families, stronger communities and a stronger future.

Through local action, partnerships, advocacy, prevention, education and evidence-based initiatives, Soroptimists can help turn women's health priorities into meaningful change.

Don't just be aware. Know the issue. Take action. Improve access. Create change.

HER HEALTH. OUR WEALTH.

Join us on Saturday 24 October 2026.

SI Bangsar - World Environment Day Activity with Indigenous Community
In conjunction with World Environment Day 5th June 2022, an initiative to raise awareness on effective waste management involved a clean-up activity for the Orang Asli community of Kampung Sebir. The community is not provided with any consistent, effective waste disposal service, resulting in an excessive amount of littering in the vicinity of their homes.

In collaboration with International Medical University, SI Seremban and SWM Corp, the event was successfully conducted between 9 am-noon on 12 June 2022, with an opening address by YB Nicole Tan, (past president of SI Seremban), who is the MP of Bukit Kepayang. Kg Sebir falls under her constituency.

Long-term initiatives were discussed with YB Nicole and her team in sustaining waste management services, and other methods to enhance the quality of life for the community.
