Скачать или смотреть Unseen & Unheard: The Hidden Healthcare Crisis Facing Childless Women

For millions of women childless not by choice - navigating the healthcare system can be emotionally painful, medically inadequate, and often deeply isolating. Doctors often assume there are two types of women – those who have already given birth and those who will. Clinics are filled with triggering reminders of children and fertility loss and even worse, the system isn't built for those outside the parenting norm.

In this honest and eye-opening session, we’ll explore the unique challenges childless women face in accessing compassionate, comprehensive healthcare - including the heartbreaking decision many make to delay or avoid care altogether. We’ll examine how medical bias, disenfranchised grief, and cultural expectations collide to leave childless women feeling invisible and unheard.

What we’ll cover:
1.The emotional toll of seeking care after infertility, loss, or dismissal
2. How healthcare often centers motherhood and leaves others behind
3. The ripple effects of avoidance: missed diagnoses, delayed screenings, and isolation
4. Steps toward inclusive, trauma-informed, and childless-aware care
5. What healthcare providers, policymakers, and advocates must do now

Join us for a conversation that brings long-overdue attention to this silent crisis - and helps create a path toward more inclusive and healing care.
