This year, for #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate progress – but also recognise the work still needed to improve women’s health. From access to treatment to being heard by healthcare professionals, women deserve to be treated with dignity and respect at every stage of care.

Today the Women & Equalities Committee published their report on 'Women's reproductive health conditions', finding a "clear lack of awareness and understanding of women's reproductive health conditions among primary healthcare practitioners". #MedicalMisogyny
