Petition to create mandatory Womans health classes within all High Schools
Why this petition matters
It's a sad truth that women, who make up half of our population, often receive inadequate treatment, incorrect diagnoses, or no diagnosis at all for critical health conditions. Some may spend their entire lives suffering from ailments like lupus without even realizing they're ill, leading to negative impacts on their physical and mental well-being. The effects of this can be devastating, as women miss out on opportunities and experience grief that can last for years. Especially In today's world, where fads often overshadow facts in health education, it's crucial for women to be informed about their health from proper sources. There are many industries misconstruing women's health, causing people to misinform each other through internet platforms. However, poor information is also occurring from trusted healthcare professionals. Shockingly, one in five women report mistreatment from healthcare professionals. By providing women with invaluable information about their health, we can help them name their symptoms and avoid misdiagnosis. It's time for us to ensure that our future doctors and researchers get trained to care for women and conduct testing trials on them. Achieving health equality is vital for science and the world as a whole. So, let's start from the beginning.
