The group was an idea that came up near the stand of EYFDM in London this past conference 2022, after attending a SIG Family Violence workshop. We cannot ignore the fact that there are changes for gender equality throughout the globe, and Family Medicine cannot be aside from them. We are in a privileged position to do more and better for our community and especially for women.
