“Gender bias is “prejudice in action or treatment against a person on the basis of their sex,” In healthcare, it refers to situations where patients are assessed, diagnosed and treated differently and at a lower quality level because of their gender than others with the same complaints. The goal of this website was to bring awareness to this issue! WOMEN AGAINST BIASES wants to contribute to change by spreading awareness and increasing representation in the field of healthcare.
A survey conducted in early 2019 by TODAY found that more than one-half of women, compared with one-third of men, believe gender discrimination in patient care is a serious problem. One in five women say they have felt that a health care provider has ignored or dismissed their symptoms, and 17% say they feel they have been treated differently because of their gender— compared with 14% and 6% of men, respectively.
