WOMEN’S HEALTHCARE

Abstract

This article addresses women from multiple perspectives, beginning with their definition and their social, religious and cultural status. It explains that women are not merely biological entities, but also have social and intellectual roles which vary according to time and place. The article also presents the views of philosophers and thinkers on women, emphasising the differences in how women are perceived in different civilisations. 

Furthermore, it discusses women’s status in Islam, emphasising that Islam elevated their dignity at all stages of life and affirmed equality between men and women in terms of humanity, moral responsibility and reward. Additionally, it examines women’s social rights under Algerian and international legislation, including education, employment, and family formation. It also stresses the state’s role in providing educational, health, and social opportunities, as well as supporting women in areas of work and responsibility. 

It also discusses women’s health, their right to disease prevention and ensuring access to family planning. Furthermore, it covers the protection of women from violence in all its forms and refers to the legal penalties stipulated in Algerian legislation. In conclusion, the article argues that caring for women and guaranteeing their fundamental rights is integral to community development and that ongoing challenges require sustained awareness and efforts to ensure women’s status and equality.
