Empowering workers: Impact of ‘Our Health is Our Capital’ project in Egypt


In recent years, Egypt has undertaken significant efforts to enhance women’s participation in the labour market and bolster the national economy. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to address population growth and promote sustainable family development. At the forefront of this effort is the Population Council, which has implemented a pioneering project, called “Our Health is Our Capital.” This initiative focuses on integrating reproductive health services into factory settings, empowering workers—especially women—by addressing their health and family planning needs.
