Episode 44 - Under the White Coat: Medical Violence and Women Living with HIV

Medical violence against women living with HIV is real and it must be named. In this episode of #WhatGirlsWant: A Podcast, we are joined by Lipuo Phori to unpack the often-silenced experiences of women living with HIV in healthcare settings, including coerced sterilisation, the denial of reproductive choices, breaches of confidentiality and provider abuse. These are not simply instances of “bad care.” They are human rights violations. What does healthcare look like when it respects the dignity, bodily autonomy and reproductive choices of women living with HIV? Tune in to this powerful conversation and join us in demanding healthcare systems that do no harm.
