Women’s Gynecological and Sexual Health

At Pathway Foundation, we are dedicated to advancing health equity and supporting the well-being of women—particularly those from Black and other minority ethnic communities. Our focus on gynecological and sexual health aims to raise awareness, provide support, and empower women with the knowledge they need to take charge of their health.

Addressing Critical Health Needs

Women often experience gynecological conditions that can deeply affect their quality of life. These include:

Fibroids
Endometriosis
Adenosis
Irregular menstruation
Menstrual health challenges
Perimenopause and menopause
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Such conditions are not only common but are frequently underdiagnosed or misunderstood, especially among women in underserved communities.

In addition, sexual health remains a crucial aspect of overall well-being. Topics such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), contraceptive options, and sexual dysfunction require culturally sensitive and accurate information to support healthy and informed choices.

Break down stigmas
Encourage early diagnosis and treatment
Promote open, informed conversations
Build a supportive environment for every woman’s journey

Together, we can ensure that all women—regardless of race, background, or circumstance—are seen, heard, and supported in their pursuit of health and wellness.
