Millions of women have experienced sexual violence from acquaintances, classmates, or colleagues, to strangers.

Stigma, shame, and fear keep many silent. But abuse is never the survivor’s shame.

🗣️ Believe and support survivors
⚖️ Hold perpetrators accountable
✅ Every sexual act requires consent

Is #TraditionalMedicine (TM) a well-established practice in your community?

Safe, evidence-based TM can help achieve universal health coverage.

Learn more about WHO’s work on building evidence and data to advance traditional medicine’s potential to improve #HealthForAll.

🔗FAQ page: bit.ly/4rJ5vnH
What is traditional medicine? - Systems for healthcare and well-being - Originating in different historical & cultural contexts - Distinct from and pre-date biomedicine - Evolving with science for current use Do a lot of people use it? Yes. More than 88% of WHO Member States report the use of traditional medicine. That is 170 out of 194 countries! Why is WHO working on it? Traditional medicine is used by millions worldwide as a first choice or to complement biomedicine. Traditional medicine can boost access to health care when regulated and is evidence-based. So, what's next? Traditional, Indigenous & ancestral knowledge has been an integral resource for health for centuries. WHO’s work builds on this knowledge to ensure safety, quality, and equitable access. Countries are now uniting on the most ambitious global framework yet—advancing science, regulation, and policy for traditional medicine.
