[Text on video] We ran a social experiment with women to see if they recognised the realities that affect their health. This is what they discovered.

[Woman]

Hi, are you ready?

Yes

[Woman]

In a day, men speak about 7000 words while women speak about 20000 words

[Woman]

no no

[Woman]

agree

[Woman]

Women spend nearly one year of their lives deciding what to wear. Oh yeah probably so.

[Woman]

Women have avoided or delayed seeking medical care because of family obligation. For sure, yeah thank you yeah.

[Text on video] 1 in 5 women shoulder the majority of caregiving responsibilities at home.

[Woman]

More than 90% of women make decisions related to their family's health. Being a single mother of a seven-year-old son, I am the only one who is the sole caregiver of my son.

[Woman]

That's really very sad because I understand that women always put their loved ones first before they put themselves.

[Woman]

Women still face pressure to conform. Definitely it starts from the family.

[Text on video] 1 in 2 women feel pressured to get married at the right age.

[Woman]

In 75 of cases diseases that affect primarily women are underfunded compared to diseases that affect primarily men. Oh this this is really sad.

[Woman]

It's underfunded and it's more than half as well.

[Woman]

Yeah these facts are uncomfortable for me to read but that's the reality.

[Woman]

I'm actually quite stressed reading the facts about women I really think that women need to be really treated fairly

[Man]

I didn't realize they were quite so disparative that there was such a big gap in some of them

[Woman]

There were some facts okay that were presented that I was pretty shocked about

[Woman]

I think women know I think everyone need to actually come together and let women's voices be heard

[Woman]

so I'm very glad I brought my parents here today because although I'm very blessed and privileged to have such a supportive family I think looking at all those statistics really allows them to be more understanding about what's happening with women today

[Woman]

These Healthcare realities are facts but we don't have to live with them. Women and everyone around us can help to change the facts

[Man]

We need to make a change we need to change the facts and we need to start as soon as possible like now thank you

[Text on video]

72% of respondentss said there was stigma attached to women who face difficulty conceiving children.

1 in 5 women have delayed or avoided medical treatment due to a family obligation.

1 in 3 women have given up their career due to expectations of family, friends, and the community.

By giving women the freedom to be, we can change the facts to do better
