In 2023, the Science Health Education (SHE) Center established SHE Cares, a locally-run collaboration network across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) focusing on women’s health issues such as gynecologic and breast cancers, sexually transmitted diseases, and reproductive health. The initiative engages local collaborators to ensure programming relevance and effectiveness, offering frequent workshops in collaboration with local organizations. Targeting women aged 14-40, SHE Cares aims to build an educational network for support and engagement in women’s health matters.
