The Welfare of Women information programme is an attempt to provide women everywhere with access to reliable information about key health issues that may be relevant to them. Information is offered at three separate levels which women may select according to their preferences; firstly, short video animations with voice commentary, secondly, more detailed text-based descriptions, and thirdly, links to recommended further reading. With the animated videos, women can also select the images that they feel most comfortable in viewing from a short range of very generalised and non-specific ethnicity options. Because of the special programming used, both the videos and the text information can – when authorised – be translated into any language in a simple and rapid manner.
