Unversehrt. Frauen & Schmerz

In the organizer's words:

Women are often disadvantaged in medicine, as many studies focus on male bodies, which leads to misdiagnosis and a devaluation of female pain. An intersectional perspective shows that women are also discriminated against by factors such as ethnicity, age or socio-economic status. The book "Unversehrt. Women and Pain" addresses how female pain is often underestimated, ignored and devalued. Biringer examines the social and medical aspects of this phenomenon and calls for female pain to be taken seriously and transformed into something powerful. We would like to approach these topics in a reading and discussion and show what can be done about it.
