There are so many issues related to women's health that still hold social stigma and are simply not discussed enough in our education system, mainstream media and amongst ourselves. In a recent research conducted by The National Institute for Health and Care in the UK,  ‘lack of knowledge ‘ and ‘lack of cultural awareness’ have been identified as two of the major causes for women feeling unheard and misunderstood by medical professionals. In the last five years there  has been a big influx of women speaking out and trying to raise more awareness on the matter and we wanted to contribute to this movement by providing one integral hub that covers all health and wellbeing matters. The concept behind Agora is to streamline information, testing, products and solutions into one place. Making it easier to access all the support and knowledge you need to navigate your wellbeing.

The core values of our philosophy are honesty, respect and compassion. Agora is a place where we can thrive together and honesty and transparency in what we do is imperative for us. This isn’t a brand centred around profit making but supporting a bigger cause to help and empower women and this is at the forefront of all that we do. Being honest and transparent in our communication and our partnership selection is what we pride ourselves on. We strongly encourage a culture of respect and compassion within our community because creating a safe space for all is our main aim. We strive to celebrate inclusivity and diversity in a genuine and positive way and make all those that work with us, follow us and support us feel seen and heard.

THE AGORA WAY:

• BREAKING TABOOS - For far too long, societal norms and cultural stigmas have silenced conversations about women's bodies and health issues. This silence has led to a lack of awareness, access to information, and support for women's unique health needs. To foster positive change, it's imperative to challenge these taboos, encourage open dialogue and aid women to prioritise their health and wellbeing without shame or fear. By dismantling these taboos, we can create a more inclusive, informed, and supportive environment for women to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.
• EMPOWERING OTHERS - Empowering others is the process of equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to take control of their lives, make informed decisions, and achieve their goals. It involves providing support, encouragement, and resources that enable people to recognize their potential and act upon it. In doing so, it contributes to building stronger communities, organisations, and societies by harnessing the collective power of empowered individuals.
• PROGRESS IS BEST - Progress for women and all those who identify does not just help our community. Our advancements in wellness are a catalyst for positive change that benefits everyone, creating a fairer, more prosperous, and harmonious world. Inclusivity ensures that everyone, regardless of their background or characteristics, has a seat at the table, contributing to a richer tapestry of ideas and experiences. It fosters empathy, understanding, and collaboration, ultimately leading to more comprehensive solutions and a world where every individual can thrive and fulfil their potential.
