    The EJCN marks International Women’s Day through the curation of two related collections. These recent data highlight health issues faced by women around the globe. The first deals with the critical period of pregnancy and lactation, where optimal foetal outcomes benefit the next generation. The second is a snapshot of efforts to identify and manage chronic diseases that are important to women’s health. We hope these papers alert the reader to the ongoing need for better medical outcomes, as well as improved nutrition and health services in several parts of the world.
