Healthy lives, healthy people
Healthy lives, healthy people
Platform 51 has responded to 'Healthy lives, healthy people', the Government's White Paper on public health. From our work with girls and women, Platform 51 knows that the cumulative effects of women's disadvantage can have significant impacts on their health. Many of the factors associated with poor health are of particular concern to women, particularly: poverty and debt; violence and abuse; unemployment, underemployment and low pay; and mental health problems.
