Social Taboos and Stigma Surrounding Women's Health - It's Time to Break the Barriers
In this fifth episode of Legally Femtech, host Bethany Corbin talks with Chanda Kundnaney, founder of LiZZOM (a UAE startup in the women's hygiene space focused on organic sanitary pads and liners), about the social taboos and stigmas surrounding women's health. For too long, discussions of women's health have been relegated to the shadows of the private sphere, widely perceived as an inappropriate topic for public discourse. As a result, women devalue their personal health experiences, assume their health symptoms are normal, and are even afraid to discuss their health and wellbeing with their physicians. It's time to challenge the taboos and stigmas surrounding women's health and break down these societally constructed barriers so that women can prioritize their health and wellness. This episode explores why women's health is considered taboo, how to speak about women's health in public, how femtech companies can work to overcome these taboos and stigmas, what the femtech landscape looks like in the UAE, and much more! Join us to be part of the change in women's health.
