About Women in RA
Women in RA is a series of national initiatives bringing together women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), doctors, national health advocacy groups, as well as national and European members of parliament to inform and mobilize medical, public health and political decision makers. The program focuses on RA by illustrating – beyond facts and figures - the disease’s physical, emotional and financial impact on the lives of women and their families. National Women in RA campaigns have been implemented in 11 countries including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Women in RA - A Union of Voices
The European Women in RA – A Union of Voices campaign is an initiative led by People with Arthritis/Rheumatism in Europe. Its objective is to unite the efforts of the 11 national campaigns and promote closer involvement of patients in deciding health policy at both national and European level. European Women in RA – A Union of Voices is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Abbott.
