Pelvic and intimate health conditions affect 50% of women, yet remain under-recognized, under-acknowledged, under-screened, under-funded, and stigmatized within healthcare systems.
APOPS launched the WHEN Coalition—Women’s Health Empowerment Network to address the gaps through coordinated action across advocacy, healthcare, academia, industry, and policy. The Coalition works to normalize pelvic health conversations, advance standardized screening, improve research translation, accelerate ethical innovation, and advocate for policy reform that reflects women’s lived experiences. The WHEN Coalition is not a duplicative effort—it is a connective one, aligning sectors, amplifying impact, and ensuring women’s below-the-waist health is treated as a public health priority.
WHEN is dedicated to creating practical, real-world solutions for women experiencing pelvic, vaginal, and intimate health issues—including prolapse, urinary, digestive, reproductive, or vulval conditions. Women deserve hope and effective care pathways. With support from WHEN partners and advocates, women’s below-the-waist health will take its rightful place in healthcare.
