Perelel Unites Advocates to Enhance Women's Health Equity
Together with co-hosts Karla Welch and Erica Chidi, the brand is advocating for significant change against the backdrop of intense political discussions. Women's health is an issue that demands the attention and agreement of all.
Perelel—a pioneering women's health company—gathered a remarkable group of change-makers and policy advocates to discuss the crucial gender health gap and how to spur actionable initiatives. This event was set against the recent launch of the company's Fall campaign, Perelel Universe, which successfully garnered 10,000 signatures on a petition in just 10 days and attracted over 2 million views on its campaign video within 48 hours. As of now, Perelel's coalition has expanded to over 25,000 members.

"Currently, we cannot afford to await a structured future for women's health—we need to take action ourselves. I'm thrilled to lead a coalition of dedicated individuals committed to advocating for increased funding and equitable healthcare for women," stated Alex Taylor, Perelel Co-CEO and Co-Founder.
Mandy Moore, an actress and reproductive health advocate, expressed her pride in collaborating alongside such influential advocates, emphasizing the need to destigmatize discussions surrounding women's bodies. She passionately stated the importance of equitable research and care, highlighting her commitment to this movement.
According to a recent analysis by a leading health institute, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) allocates a mere 10.8 percent of its funding towards women's health research. This precarious situation has led to diagnostic delays, inadequate medical interventions for women’s needs, and a conspicuous absence of women in clinical studies.
Since 1977, women of childbearing potential have been excluded from numerous clinical studies, resulting in countless ramifications, including less accurate dosing recommendations and prolonged diagnosis durations. Women's health issues have historically been overlooked, causing urgent calls for reliable resources and comprehensive care tailored to their needs.
Perelel envisions a transformative reality for women's health and prompts us to consider vital questions: What if women's health was prioritized? What if fertility support was universally accessible? What if we acknowledged postpartum care as essential? Through such inquiries, Perelel not only invites us to imagine a hopeful future but also encourages us to actively engage in shaping it.
In February, Perelel made headlines by announcing a substantial $10 million pledge to the Magee-Womens Research Institute and Good+Foundation to address disparities in women's health research and to enhance access to prenatal care, continuing their initiative to support progressive women's health solutions.
The effort to secure equitable research funding transcends political divides and calls for a unified effort across communities. To engage citizens and encourage Congress to address the enduring gender research gap, Perelel advocates for signing their ongoing petition for increased support in women's health initiatives through the NIH.
