·          Substantiate this argument with evidence to support it.

·          How can we promote and protect the health of women?

Social welfare involves several factors, and most important one among them is the health status of people. In this respect, ensuring women’s health is more important than anything else. This is for today and for tomorrow, too. Of course, there are ways to achieve this goal.

When it comes to its greater importance, primarily, it is women who sustain human life. Naturally, their health plays a pivotal role in giving birth to healthy lives, both boys and girls. Obviously, these boys and girls are what we call future generation. For example, a healthy female child will naturally become a healthy woman, and she in turn continues the process. If we look at it from a social welfare angle, it is again right that women play the most crucial role in managing the health of the family. And healthy families contribute greatly to social welfare.

Obviously, there are ways to sustain women’s health. Health as such involves several factors. It is not simply being free from diseases. So, right and deserving education, enough employment opportunities, food security, affordable medical care, amiable family atmosphere with enough freedom for decision making, problem solving and socializing are some of the contributory factors that make women healthy. Needless to say, there should be enough provision for all these in a society that expects to be healthy today and tomorrow.

Concluding it, I would like to add that sustaining women’s health is the best thing a society or a system of government can do to its present and future welfare. And I am sure the suggestions I have made are of some significance.
