Today I talk about the health issues faced by the LGBTQIA+ community during the much-talked-about Pride month. Society still is based on natal gender and is yet to consider that gender is what the individual identifies as. Often ignored and mostly disregarded, the LGBTQIA+ community also needs basic, essential, and specific healthcare. There needs to be an understanding of the health needs and to improve delivery and access to competent healthcare for physical, emotional, and mental well-being, irrespective of sexual/ gender identity.

One test single-handedly brought down the number of cervical cancers all over the world. Though this is the test that many women refrain from or are afraid of, this screening tool is the gold standard test when it comes to screening the cancers of the cervix. There still lies a general unawareness and hesitancy when it comes to a Pap test. Also very few actually know about the causative organism-HPV and available vaccines against the same.

In this episode of Guy from Gynec, Dr Ash simplifies the Pap smear test as he tells you the inspiring story of the man behind this revolutionary investigation, along with answering some important questions and doubts when it comes to HPV infection and cervical cancers.

Domestic abuse is an epidemic that we choose to shy away from. This silence leaves more pain than the scars and bruises endured by the woman throughout her life. A crime behind closed doors is chosen to be ignored and leaving the relationship is not always an option considering among the societal disputes. There are laws like the Article 15, the 498A IPC and the 304B Dowry law, which are available to protect such women against conjugal violence and provide safety. In this episode of Guy from Gynec, Dr Ash highlights the silent abuses faced by married women in different manners, the reasons why they choose to bear or accept such exploitation and the various ways a woman can fight for her safety and rights to protect her integrity.

Today, I am sharing with you the idea behind this podcast and my thoughts on Women's day.

Even with decades of notable progress and significant gains on the international forum, women and vulva owners—both in India and around the world— still find gender equality elusive. Women exercising or even seeking their basic rights is interpreted as a direct and destabilizing challenge to existing power structures. Regardless of a woman’s education or abilities or experience, the patriarchal nature fosters the perception that women are less competent and less qualified than men. Honestly, it is not possible to name just one challenge, one issue, or one forgotten right, but it becomes necessary for me, as a Gynec, and for you too, to reflect on it, speak about it, and make a change one at a time.
