In Fact with Chelsea Clinton

Sexism and Public Health (with Congresswoman Lauren Underwood and Caroline Criado Perez)

Sexism is baked into every aspect of our health and safety -- from how cars are tested to the way women, and especially women of color, are treated by doctors and hospitals. And the results can be deadly.  In this week’s season finale, Chelsea sits down with writer and advocate Caroline Criado Perez and Congresswoman Lauren Underwood to discuss the mind-boggling ways sexism shapes the world around us, puts women at risk, and what we need to do to fix it.

What do vaccines, stigma, climate change and sex have in common? They all relate to our public health.    Covid-19 isn’t the only public health crisis we’ve faced. It’s not even the only one we face right now. What led us to this moment, what have we learned, what did we get right (and wrong), and how can we do better?   As we navigate a pandemic, and a moment that’s rife with conspiracy theories and misinformation, Chelsea is getting the facts.    Each week on In Fact, Chelsea Clinton sits down with experts, activists and a few surprising guests who share Chelsea’s passion for science, evidence and yes, facts. Along the way, they’ll open the world of public health through shared stories, their work, connect the dots between the past and present moment, and help us understand that, now more than ever, public health affects us all.
