What are the sustainable development goals of this project?

Primary sustainable development goal

Health

Why does this project contribute to this goal?

Our product directly enhances the health of our users, as they get to know and understand their bodies better through daily interaction with the app and further educate themselves on hormonal women's health topics in our workshops. Additionally, anonymized data contributions help reduce the gender data gap and strengthen women's health in the long term. The FemBassador Network and various partnerships support us in achieving our goals.

This project also pays toward those goals
