Empowerment through education.
Queen’s Women’s Health Advocacy (QWHA) promotes women’s health literacy by addressing health topics across the female lifespan that are often overlooked or normalized.
Who We Are:
Women’s Health Advocacy at Queen’s University
Kingston, ON
QWHA is an organization that is dedicated to bridging knowledge gaps in the field of women’s health. By translating evidence-based health sciences research into educational resources, we hope to deliver useful information to women of all backgrounds. QWHA encourages its audience to learn about physiology across the lifespan, providing women with the confidence to advocate for their own health.
Developed by students at Queen’s University, QWHA prioritizes a strong sense of community. We highlight local academia while supporting organizations that improve women’s health and wellbeing.
Our Executive Team is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that encourages health communication and discussion. We are determined to establish a long-lasting knowledge platform that dismantles stigma and makes essential health information accessible to all.
On behalf of the 2026-27 QWHA team, we thank you for your interest in our group. We encourage any questions - after all, learning is at the heart of what we do! Please reach out to queensuwha@gmail.com to contact our Co-Presidents if you are looking for involvement opportunities with QWHA.
