Women's Health in Women's Hands Community Health Centre is a pro-choice, anti-racist, multilingual, participatory community health centre for women of diverse backgrounds in Metropolitan Toronto and surrounding municipalities.

Women's Health in Women's Hands is committed to providing community, mental and clinical health promotion support from an inclusive feminist, pro-choice, anti-racist, anti-oppression, and multilingual participatory framework. We work with immigrant and/or refugee women, women with disabilities, young women and older women in Toronto. Within these groups, the Centre prioritizes low-income Black women and women of colour.

Women's Health in Women's Hands understands that women are the experts in their own healthcare and that health incorporates the biological, socio-cultural, psychological and spiritual dimensions of our lives. Health is a resource for everyday living, not the objective of living.

• Addressing the issue of access to healthcare (encompassing all the determinants of health) caused by poverty, gender, race, violence, sexual orientation, religion, culture, language, disability, class and socio-economic circumstances;

• Developing strategies to remove the barriers embedded within the healthcare system which strongly influence how one experiences health and how one is treated by the healthcare system;

• Participating in community activities which create the social and environmental conditions that promote health and wellness;

• Enhancing women's sense of well being in an atmosphere that allows us to validate each other's definitions and experiences;

• Supporting women's right to make informed choices about our health.
