Gender Data Gap – When your biological sex raises your life risk
The discrimination of women in our society is a very present topic. Women earn less money than men, there are less female company executives and women assume significantly more often care work and housework that influence their financial safety and career negatively. But gender discrimination does not only happen in politics or the working world. Caroline Criado Perez states in Invisible Women (2019) that women are treated differently in various areas of life. This is especially noticeable in the medical sector. Did you know that female heart attacks are more than 7 times falsely diagnosed than male heart attacks? Or did you hear that in clinical studies, many drugs are only tested on men?
On 21st April we want to discuss this topic together with Prof. Dr. Thilo Bertsche, Head of clinical Pharmacy at the Institut for Pharmacy in hte Medicinical department of the Universität Leipzig and Head of research of the ZAMS – Zentrum für Arzneimittelsicherheit (Centre for drug safety) at the University and university hospital Leipzig. We want to focus on questions about the reason for the Gender Health Gap, why women have a higher life risk because of gender specific medicine and how such differences can be rectified. We start at 8 pm on Zoom.
