Recently most women get info about sexual health including HIV/AIDS or Cancer, and  but honestly these is more that meet the eye to women's health other than that.

We also suffer from high blood pressure, stress, bulimia, anorexia, ect though the media keeps throwing us with info on HIV & AIDS more than anything else making us the sole high alert statistics whereas our male counter parts are also involved in any sexual activity we get ourselves in. Dnt get me wrong, yes! we ought to take responsibility and practice safe sex or abstain as a choice.

Women have to face a lot of unavoidable and irresistible constraints at workplace. Some of their choices have not come without disappointment. She is a Woman! Distinctions are always made between male candidates and female candidates at workplace. The first thing one notices about a woman employee is that ’she is a woman’. They do not even think about her position and qualification. In general, people do not respect the abilities and talents in women. It takes a long time for them to succeed and get promoted. Nobody makes a single effort to understand who she really is as a person.

Polygamy that exists in a context of inequality is not an expression of 'choice'. Where women are poorer, subject to violence and harassment daily, are 60% of HIV positive people, and are killed by their intimate partners at a rate that is unmatched in the world - choice is a relative term.
