For far too long, women have been made to feel their health isn’t important and their issues not real enough. Women's health has seldom been taken seriously – be it by the law, the society, or the so-called traditions.
Leave alone letting women have control over their own bodies, most shy away from even talking about women’s health. From menstruation to abortion, reproductive health to sexual health, it’s all a taboo.
A women’s health festival, FemmeCon, organised by TheaCare, sought to have this conversation that others avoid. The event held in Delhi on Sunday aimed to dismantle the culture of silence around women’s health and bodies by creating awareness, and fostering healthy conversations and action.
