Why Women’s Health?
Too often, women’s experiences aren’t addressed adequately in healthcare services or in research, especially when it comes to women’s experiences of trauma and sexual / partner violence. Women’s health research that acknowledges the many diverse experiences of women addresses critical in understanding exactly how biological, psychological, and social / structural factors impact women’s wellbeing. Advancing work in this areas helps ensure that care and services are effective and welcoming for women, and can improve multiple domains of health. It is my goal to make women feel more seen, acknowledged, and appreciated in healthcare and society.
