Back to Episodes'It shouldn't be painful to be a woman': Victorian report lays bare health care battle
Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description
The Victorian government has released the final report of an inquiry into women's experiences of pain - and it's made for some uncomfortable reading. Shaped by the experiences of 13,000 women and girls, the report has revealed gender health gaps, experiences of medical bias, sexism and misogyny, and feelings of being ignored or dismissed by clinicians are rampant throughout the Victorian health system.
