The story behind why I started this initiative is simple. My personal experience with medical negligence & misdiagnosis (read about it here) proves that there is not adequate attention paid to gynaecological health in the healthcare industry.

FYI: We refrain from using the term “women’s health” as this excludes non-binary & transgender people from the conversation.

My belief is that much of the mis-information and stigma surrounding gynae health stems from the sheer lack of information available - starting from what you may remember as “sex-ed” in school. Then as we get a bit older, workplaces are not equipped to deal with some of the long-term affects of gynae related illnesses, or natural processes like menstruation and menopause.
