The collaborative webinar between EYFDM and WWPWFM, “Violence against female doctors”, held on 8 Dec 2024 has been uploaded. The webinar was organised by WONCA’s Women’s Health Special Interest Group and the European Network of Young Doctors’ Movement. It was moderated by Helena Alonso (EYFDM Policy Officer) as the past chair of the Women’s Health Special Interest Group.
Violence against women doctors is a serious and widespread problem that affects women all over the world. This webinar explores the issue from a global perspective, with speakers from Nigeria, Colombia, and the UK. The webinar discusses the prevalence of violence against women doctors, the impact of this violence on their work and well-being, and actionable solutions to create safer and more supportive medical workplaces.
During the webinar we got to hear from several experts, including Dr. Tehzeeb Zulfiqar from Pakistan and currently at Australian National University Pakistan, Dr. Rimola Silva from Nigeria, Dr. Alejandra Leon from Colombia, and Dr. Mary Robertson from the UK. The speakers discussed the prevalence of violence against women doctors in their respective countries, the impact of this violence on their work and well-being, and strategies for prevention and response. The webinar also highlighted the importance of data collection and research to better understand the scope of the problem and develop effective interventions.
Watch the recording of the webinar and learn more about how to address this important issue.
