Lifting Voices for people with bleeding disorders

At CHES Foundation we are unwavering in our commitment to equity for women, girls, and people who menstruate. We understand that uplifting these voices means a brighter, more inclusive future for all. Through our dedicated campaigns, we aim not only to raise the voices of women and girls but also to create a platform where their stories, challenges, and triumphs are heard and celebrated. We believe in the strength of community. By bringing women together, we foster a supportive environment where they can share experiences, inspire one another, and advance collectively.

Why it Matters

3.1 million Hispanic women with bleeding disorders in the US need accessible, culturally relevant support—simply translating websites into Spanish is inadequate. Many of these women prefer communication methods such as word of mouth, interactive discussion, and TV/film media. Without this type of support, Hispanic women with bleeding disorders often feel isolated and alone.

 

Solution

Hermanas de Sangre will provide accessible, culturally relevant support for Hispanic women with bleeding disorders through:

 

Online bilingual support

Monthly virtual coffee mornings for Hispanic women with bleeding disorders to connect and share their experiences.

Quarterly educational events via Zoom where bilingual medical professionals will offer advice and support to the Hispanic community.

Traditional media partnerships

Collaborations with prominent Hispanic media outlets like El Dia and Telemundo to disseminate stories and information about challenges faced by Hispanic women and girls with bleeding disorders.

Empowering visual archive

Filming the experiences of eight or more Hispanic women with bleeding disorders will create a relatable visual resource showcasing stories, struggles, and triumphs to inspire others facing similar situations.

 
 

Impact

The Hermanas de Sangre program will measure improvements in three areas:

Awareness & understanding of bleeding disorders: Gauged by levels of web and social media engagement and participation in online support events.

Quality of support & resources: Measured through event participant surveys and feedback, and number of referrals made to healthcare professionals.

Visibility of challenges faced by Hispanic women: Measured by media coverage, reach of created case studies, and social media analytics
