Medical feminism advocates for equitable and respectful healthcare for women, addressing historical disparities and biases in treatment, research, and medical systems. It highlights the importance of understanding women's unique health needs, ensuring their voices are heard in medical research and decision-making. By promoting gender-sensitive practices, medical feminism aims to improve health outcomes, reduce disparities, and challenge norms that have traditionally marginalized women in medicine. Ultimately, it seeks a healthcare system that respects women’s bodily autonomy, experiences, and diverse health concerns equally with those of men.
