FutureFemHealth’s Post

Earlier this month our co-founder Clio Wood was back on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour hosted by Nuala McGovern with Tess Isabelle Cosad of Béa Fertility and Farah K. of HANX to talk about our CensHERship work once again. Our first report shows that 9 in 10 organisations experience censorship of women's health content (organic and paid) on social media and 100% of the organisations surveyed in our second piece of research experienced refusal or difficulties with financial services. This censorship extends to ecommerce and payments platforms too, but perhaps more worryingly also to banking and insurance - fundamental administration that businesses need to operate. This suppression means that the whole life cycle of women's health and femtech businesses (the vast majority of which are female-founded) is negatively impacted. As most of these businesses are tackling traditionally under-served and under-researched women's health problems, it ultimately means that the gender health gap is being sustained. We'd love to talk to Amazon and Meta for starters (the two companies we mentioned in our case studies) but everyone is welcome to come and chat to see how CensHERship can help you help us all make some change!
