The Pain Museum

Pain for women has historically been side-lined; written off as “normal” or dismissed as a symptom of hysteria. It’s even harder to get a diagnosis if you’re a Black, Asian or mixed heritage woman. Not to mention the host of stigmas and lack of understanding that stands in the way of trans and non-binary people receiving adequate care for their pain. The consequences can be devastating – unconscious medical bias, a dearth of research, chronic misdiagnosis, a continued lack of funding and an ingrained culture of neglect, leaving women suffering undiagnosed and untreated for years. But Bodyform believe it doesn’t have to be this way. We created a space for womb pain to be heard and taken seriously. Creating an open dialogue about the conditions that cause this pain and just how many women suffer from them.
