Talk 'Trauma-sensitive gynecology'

Women and Design talk

Hosted by Charis Stephanie

This project is now archived and was part of DDW23

Many women carry trauma in the pelvic area, which can include sexual trauma as well as negative childbirth experiences. How can healthcare professionals work in a trauma-sensitive manner to ensure that women do not leave their procedures feeling (further) traumatized?

Who?

Charis Stephanie presents the segment 'Woman and Design Talks.' In this, social researcher Françoise Molenaar - who has written several articles on this theme for De Correspondent - engages in conversations with doctors, designers, and system changers about how the female medical experience could be improved and what design solutions might be possible. Supported by Zoë Sluisdom, a member of the social design agency Afdeling Buitengewone Zaken, they create three interactive sessions in which the audience's experience is also of value.

Where?

The talks are in Dutch and take place at the Steentjeskerk, Sint Antoniusstraat 5, Eindhoven, and admission is free! Want to reserve a spot? Please email: [email protected]
