How can I pursue women's health outside of maternal health?

I'm most interested in supporting survivors of domestic abuse but most women's health projects I see are only associated with maternal health. What about the health of women who aren't mothers and don't want to be? How can I find ways to support them in my career?

Are there any volunteer opportunities for high school students (Northern Virginia area) under the age of 16, in hospitals, health centers, or physical therapy/sports med offices?

I have seen multiple volunteer opportunities in INOVA, but they are 16+. The only under 16 one I have seen is in Sentara but it is a little far. I am looking for opportunities in the Fairfax area, but maybe as far as Reston.
