Various regional programs are being implemented across multiple countries to support women's health and combat gender-based violence.

In Mexico, efforts have focused on breast cancer prevention through free mammographies and awareness talks in Colima, Veracruz, and Michoacán. In Guamúchil, Sinaloa, the Cruz Roja Guamúchil women's volunteer group hosted the “De Mujer a Mujer” forum, where medical professionals emphasized the importance of early detection for breast cancer. In Isla Mujeres, the Municipal Government and the Municipal DIF system are organizing a gynecological health day to provide services such as prenatal care, Pap smears, and the removal of contraceptive implants.

Simultaneously, initiatives to eradicate violence against women have been highlighted in Mecayapan and Mexico City. In France, commemorations include public illuminations and self-defense workshops.

Further efforts have emerged in Spain and Argentina. Salamanca, Spain, has announced a month-long program for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, featuring social awareness campaigns, a manifesto reading, and the ninth edition of the Race and Walk Against Gender Violence. In Sierra Grande, Argentina, a Women's Health Week is scheduled from November 3 to 5 to promote early diagnosis, sexual health education, and improved access to gynecological and prenatal care through collaboration between the Río Negro government and the private sector.
