WOW - Wellbeing of Women

WellBeing of Women (WoW) is the only UK charity dedicated to funding vital research and raising awareness of all aspects of women’s reproductive health WellBeing of Women was established in 1964 to help reduce the unacceptable level of maternal mortality in childbirth. We now focus on 3 key areas:

• Pregnancy and birth – e.g. premature birth, infertility, recurrent miscarriage
• Quality of life problems – e.g. period pain, endometriosis, menopause, incontinence, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Gynaecological cancers – e.g. ovarian, cervical and uterine

WellBeing of Women reassures women, provides information, and raises awareness of the benefits of being pro-active about good reproductive health whilst championing the need for more funding in women’s health in the public arena.

We are striving for a world where no woman need suffer, experience or fear reproductive problems.
