## Melinda French Gates donates $215M, funding $600M for women's health

Authored by yahoo.com

June 4 (UPI) -- Melinda French Gates has added another $215 million to her organization Pivotal, which funds social initiatives for women and families around the world.

The latest boost in funding is specifically to address problems with women's reproductive and menopause health, she said.

French Gates has contributed $600 million to women's health over the past two years.

"For too long, perimenopause and menopause have been treated as invisible -- something women are expected to manage quietly, without clear answers or support.

While the donation is critical, Faubion said the attention generated by French Gates is even more important.

"It shows that somebody like Melinda Gates and Pivotal feel that this is an important issue," Faubion told the Independent.

Though women make up half the population, health issues that affect them get only 2% of private healthcare funding, according to the World Economic Forum. »
