Do Her No Harm
Stories of Health Inequity and Dehumanization Experienced by cis-Women in the Canadian Healthcare System
Using the spoken arts of storytelling and podcasting, Laura McNab-Coombs sits down with three cis-gendered women who bravely share their experiences of sexism, misogyny, and dehumanization while navigating the Canadian healthcare system.
