You’ll hear Charee explore how:

• Women are often blamed and dismissed for their health conditions.
  
  
• Women are frequently excluded from research about health.
  
  
• Women with MCS and other so-called 'contested illnesses" are often dismissed by healthcare workers as well as friends and family.
  
  
• Illnesses such as Multiple Sclerosis were once widely dismissed by healthcare providers.
  
  
• Parents of girls can support their children when they navigate the healthcare system, and more.
