LBT Women's Health Week 2022 Events
Welcome to our calendar of events for LBT Women's Health Week 2022. Below are events being held by the National LGBT Partnership and our Community Collaborators. Please click on the title of the event(s) you are interested in attending to sign up or get further information.
*LBT Women's Health Week is a week aimed at lesbian, bisexual and trans women, and frontline workers and healthcare providers who work with them. Occasionally, our events cover topics that are widely considered to be "women's" health issues, such as as fertility, menopause, menstruation, cervical health, etc. We recognise that such issues are not limited to cis women, and that some trans men, non-binary & intersex people may relate to these experiences. Therefore, some of our events of this nature indicate that they are appropriate for women and anybody who may experience the specific health issue (e.g. "women and people who experience menopause"). We welcome trans men, non-binary & intersex people to attend our events when the event is indicated this way, however please only do so if you feel comfortable. Events without this indicator are intended for only cis and trans women.
