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.

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.
