Mission

Hesperian Health Guides promotes health justice on a global scale by addressing urgent, emerging, and primary health needs, structural inequalities, and their root causes. Designed and distributed with directly affected communities, our 300 digital and print health information tools in 85 languages support people in 221 countries taking greater control over their health and lives and working to eliminate the underlying causes of poor health.<br><br>Gender, women's rights, and women's health concerns are central to our work. We create materials and health guides of critical importance to women's physical and psychological well-being, including workers' health and safety; reproductive, environmental, and children's health; living with chronic illness and disabilities; and primary health care.
