What inspires us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Manifesto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our history is rooted in data feminism<\/em> and gender medicine<\/em>.We strongly believe in<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Analysing and challenging power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Medicine and research have been built on incomplete data, excluding women and their experiences for centuries. We work to expose structural inequalities and close knowledge gaps, putting women’s health at the centre.\u2028Ethics is not enough for us, we want justice. The gender gap is a political and social problem that requires concrete action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Data for change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Data are not neutral: they reflect the injustices of those who collect and interpret them. We promote the ethical collection and use of data to close the gender gap in medical research, recognising that the absence of data on women is a social justice issue. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Innovation in the service of women<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We support Femtech as a tool to create digital and technological solutions that address the specific needs of women’s health, from prevention to treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Fair access to health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We work to break down the economic, cultural and geographical barriers that limit access to quality care, guaranteeing every woman the right to her own health. We promote intersectionality, regardless of age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or socio-economic status. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Ethical use of data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Women’s health information is valuable, but also sensitive. We strive for ethical and transparent use of data so that women can have full control over how it is collected, used and shared. Any Femtech technology must guarantee privacy, security and true informed consent. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Education and Awareness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We disseminate evidence-based information to combat misinformation and make every woman the protagonist of her own health choices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Participation and self-determination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We believe that women must be actively involved in the design of health technologies and services so that they truly reflect their needs.\u2028We support the right of every woman to choose her own healthcare pathway in an informed manner, free from prejudice or imposition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Networking and Collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We build an ecosystem in which companies, start-ups, institutions, doctors, researchers and patients can collaborate to advance innovation in women’s health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Visibility of women<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Women’s work in research, technology and health is often invisible and undervalued. We give recognition to those who create innovative solutions for women’s health, from start-ups to activists, from female scientists to caregivers, because all progress comes from many hands, often made invisible. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Towards a future of equity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We imagine and work for a future in which gender is no longer a discriminating factor in research, medicine and technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
