A new Strategy on women’s health and well-being in the European Region will be presented for adoption at the upcoming WHO Regional Committee for Europe. The strategy, which was developed through a series of consultations and with guidance from Member States, aims to inspire countries of the Region to improve women’s health and well-being in areas that go beyond reproductive and maternal health. It sets priority areas for action, in line with the policy framework Health 2020, and it provides guidance to help governments optimize their investment in girls’ and women’s health. As Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has said, "The evidence is sound; when we invest in girls and women society as a whole benefits."

Recently the UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency)has again underlined that the most vulnerable groups requiring a prompt, coordinated, and effective protection response (UNHCR, UNFPA and WRC, 2016) are constituted by: all women (including single women travelling alone or with children, pregnant and lactating women, adolescent girls, unaccompanied children, early-married girl children – sometimes themselves with new-born babies), persons with disabilities, and elderly men. Single adult refugee women constitute one of the most vulnerable groups of the whole refugee population because of the common lack of financial means, professional qualification, and family support.

ABSTRACT
Too often, government leaders fail to adopt and implement policies that they know are necessary for sustained economic development. They are encumbered by adverse political incentives, which prevent them from selecting good policies, and they run the risk of losing office should they try to do the right thing. Even when technically sound policies are selected by leaders, implementation can run into perverse behavioral norms among public officials and citizens, who seek to extract private benefits from the public sector. Such behavior might be supported by widespread beliefs that corruption is the norm. Even countries with low corruption and strong institutions experience problems of political incentives and behavior that prevent the public sector from solving shared problems. Ideological polarization among citizens and capture by special interests can lead to policy gridlock and the failure of the state to provide public goods, even in advanced economies. Even educated citizens can hold ideological beliefs about the role of public policy that lead them to deny technical evidence contrary to these beliefs.
