Special Editions

Women’s Health – Open Journal (WHOJ) is an online open access journal that focuses on common health, psychological, and social issues that affect women.

The journal aims to disseminate information about health issues such as menstruation, contraception, maternal health, childbirth, menopause, and breast cancer, as well as raise awareness about social stigmas such as sexual education, contraception, abortion, and discrimination that women face in society.

Women’s health and related issues, which have always been thought-provoking subjects, will help spread social awareness pertaining to the qualms of gender as a social determinant of health and issues specific to the human female anatomy. This will aid in understanding the areas where women and men have biological sex differences.

The World Health Organization emphasises gender as a social determinant of health and exposes all initiatives required to address a woman’s health issues as a moral issue.

Openventio is determined to disseminate all detailed issues concerning women’s health to the female community for their benefit through its open journal.
