UN Foundation Announces New Framework for Corporate Action on Workplace Women’s Health and Empowerment

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

The United Nations Foundation, together with the UN Global Compact and the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), today released a first-of-its-kind comprehensive guideline for private sector companies to take action on women’s health and empowerment in their global supply chain workforces. The Framework for Corporate Action on Workplace Women’s Health and Empowerment provides a holistic approach and outlines concrete actions for companies to embed women’s health and empowerment in their policies, systems, and operations.

The Framework positions women’s health as central to empowerment, economic development, and decent work. For the nearly 200 million women working in global supply chains to thrive and advance in the workplace, they need access to essential health care services from quality reproductive care to cancer screenings to protection from gender-based violence. Companies are taking note, especially those that employ largely female workforces. In industries like garment manufacturing, coffee, tea, cocoa, and flower farming, and hospitality, in which women comprise 50 to 80 percent of the workforce, companies are investing in workplace women’s health and empowerment, recognizing that what is good for women workers also generates business returns through a healthier, more productive workforce.

“This is part of a growing movement by the private sector to move beyond compliance to drive real, systematic change for workers, communities, and the world,” said Robyn Russell, Director of Programs and Innovation at the United Nations Foundation’s Universal Access Project. “Investing in the health and well-being of women workers is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do, and this framework lays out for companies how to get started or go further to make women’s health and empowerment a priority in their global supply chain workforces.”

The framework is based on learnings from consultations with programs, companies, and non-governmental organizations to compile the best practices for investing in workplace women’s health and empowerment. It outlines specific actions, rationale, and resources for both buyers and suppliers in a four-step process that includes understanding workers’ needs and operational gaps, setting priorities and targets, taking action on education and services for women’s health and empowerment, and measuring, improving, and communicating around the initiative. The framework also cites specific programs and examples for each phase of action, and outlines innovative funding models to turn concepts into reality in a way that is effective and sustainable.

Whole Food Plant-Based Nutrition May Positively Impact Pulmonary Hypertension, Improve Sexual Function in Women and Reverse Blindness Related to Diabetic Retinopathy

Leave a comment


The International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention

The International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention

I am encouraged by the high-quality submissions received in the inaugural year of the IJDRP. The breadth and quality of materials published shed light on the power of plant-based nutrition to positively impact the treatment of an array of chronic illnesses for generations to come.


CHICAGO (PRWEB)

The International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention (IJDRP) has published its second edition, in which it presents evidence that a whole food plant-based dietary lifestyle may be capable of managing symptoms of pulmonary hypertension, reversing type 2 diabetes, reversing blindness resulting from diabetic retinopathy as well as decreasing symptoms of female sexual dysfunction. Also in this second edition, is a carefully presented argument challenging The American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) and the American Heart Association’s (AHA) recent classification of Class IIa, LOE BR guidance to limit processed meats, refined carbohydrates, sweetened beverages, cholesterol, sodium, and saturated fat despite extensive data suggesting their cardiovascular harm. Finally, included are submissions addressing the potential impact that improving dietary lifestyle may have in reducing healthcare costs; as well as a step by step guide for implementing plant-based nutrition in a hospital setting.

The research published by the IJDRP in its inaugural year has begun to lay the groundwork toward a brighter future in which the free and unbiased publication of peer-reviewed scientific findings influence a new approach to managing chronic disease. In a world where, according to the CDC, nearly 60% of the population suffers the potentially debilitating effects of at least one chronic illness; and in which such illnesses are the leading factor in the nation’s $3.3 trillion in healthcare costs, it is evident that a new approach to managing chronic disease is needed urgently.

“I am encouraged by the high-quality submissions received in the inaugural year of the IJDRP.” Says IJDRP editor-in-chief Kim A. Williams, Sr., MD, MACC, FAH, MASNC, FESC. “The breadth and quality of materials published shed light on the power of plant-based nutrition to positively impact the treatment of an array of chronic illnesses for generations to come.”

Also of note, is the incorporation of the International Journal of Lifestyle Medicine into the IJDRP, which comes as a result of a strategic partnership between the IJDRP and the Lifestyle Medicine Global Alliance (LMGA).

We look forward to reaching broad global audiences as a result of our partnership with the LMGA.” says Scott Stoll, MD, board chairman and co-founder of The Plantrician Project, “Future editions of the IJDRP will incorporate the International Journal of Lifestyle Medicine into every issue.”

Finally, also published today, is the second issue of the Disease Reversal and Prevention Digest, a companion publication to the IJDRP that links the disease reversing science of the IJDRP, whole food plant-based nutrition and regenerative agriculture with practical advice for living a vibrant, healthy life. For a limited time, readers may purchase an annual subscription for just $9.99, a 67% savings off the annual subscription price of $29.99!

The International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention and The Disease Reversal and Prevention Digest are special projects of The Plantrician Project. The Plantrician Project is a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing educational events, tools and resources for healthcare practitioners and those they serve.

DUBLIN, Ohio (PRWEB)

Connecticut Orthopaedic Specialists, one of the largest and most respected orthopaedic groups in Connecticut, selected Updox, an all-in-one healthcare collaboration platform that combines patient engagement, provider communications and internal productivity, to simplify how staff coordinates care, processes digital documents and securely communicates with internal staff, referring physicians and patients.
