Violence against women remains one of the world’s most persistent and under-addressed human rights crises, with little progress over the past two decades.

One in three women — about 840 million globally — experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, mostly at the hands of an intimate partner.

Violence against women is pervasive — but it is not inevitable.

💡 Tip Tuesday: Thyroid Disease Awareness
The thyroid is a small gland, but it plays a big role in energy, mood, and overall health. Changes like unusual tiredness, weight changes, feeling too cold or too warm, or mood shifts can be signs to check in with a healthcare provider.

Caregiver Tip: Help support thyroid health by noticing changes, encouraging regular checkups, helping with medication routines, and keeping a simple health journal to share with doctors.

Awareness and early attention make a difference. 💙

👁️ Glaucoma is an eye condition that can slowly affect vision, especially as we get older. Many people don’t notice changes right away, which is why regular eye checkups are so important.

💡 MYIAH Reminder:
✔️ Schedule routine eye exams
✔️ Take medications as prescribed
✔️ Ask your doctor questions—it’s okay to ask for help

Taking care of your eyes helps you stay independent, confident, and safe every day 💙👀
