The '7,000 Steps for Health' campaign was held by the Women's Affairs Department of the Ministry of Oil on the occasion of Women's Health Week, Physical Education and Sports Day, and simultaneously with Car-Free Day. This campaign promotes physical activity and emphasizes the role of daily choices in enhancing personal health and protecting the environment.
Purpose and Importance of the Campaign
Health is influenced more by small, consistent habits formed in daily life than by sporadic decisions. Walking is one of the simplest and most accessible ways to increase physical activity, which can help improve physical health, reduce daily stress, and increase vitality and cheerfulness.

The choice of the 7,000 Steps campaign aims to encourage more movement and incorporate walking into daily routines, allowing each individual to participate in this activity according to their conditions and abilities. Holding this campaign simultaneously with Car-Free Day also emphasizes the connection between human health and the environment, as replacing cars with walking on short routes not only increases physical activity but also helps reduce air pollution and fuel consumption.
Caring for the Health of Working Women
Attention to the health of working women, especially in busy work environments, requires providing opportunities for physical activity, increasing vitality, and consciously caring for health. The '7,000 Steps for Health' campaign aims to elevate health care beyond general recommendations and make it a part of the daily experience of employees.
This campaign will take place on Tuesday (October 20) specifically for working women at the Ministry of Oil headquarters. In this program, recording the number of steps taken throughout the day will be the focus of participants' engagement. Such initiatives can help boost morale and improve the quality of life for working women and serve as a positive model in other institutions and organizations.
