From June 1 to 7, Luxembourg is hosting its very first Women’s Health Week. With conferences, workshops, meetups, exhibitions, and awareness-raising events, the goal is to foster open dialogue in a gentle and supportive way, making women’s health a more visible, better understood, and fully heard topic 🫶🏻
A FIRST EDITION
It’s easy to talk about the weather, TV shows, or recipes… but it’s much harder to talk about endometriosis, menopause, libido, or menstruation. Yet these topics are part of daily life for so many women 👩🏻🧑🏽👩🏾👩🏻🦳🧕🏽👱🏻♀️️👩🏻🦰
With this first Women’s Health Week, organized by the Ministry of Health and Social Security to mark World Women’s Health Day, the idea is simple: to create spaces for learning, sharing, and fostering open dialogue on topics that are still too rarely discussed!
For several days, organizations, hospitals, cultural institutions, and healthcare professionals are coming together to offer events open to everyone on topics such as menopause, endometriosis, cardiovascular health, breast cancer, PCOS, sexuality, and mental health.

A SCHEDULE PACKED WITH MEETINGS, WORKSHOPS, AND DISCUSSIONS
The calendar features dozens of events across Luxembourg: lectures, hands-on workshops, yoga sessions, sex cafés, awareness days, and guided tours focused on topics related to women’s bodies and health. With two key events on June 6, organized by the Ministry of Health and Social Security!
