Unmute Women's Health
Sign the petition to discourage social media platforms from removing, shadow banning, or suppressing women’s health content that is factual, educational, and non sexual.
Why is this important?
We are calling on platforms to review and reform their moderation policies so women’s health information is treated fairly and transparently.
Social media is one of the primary sources of health information for young people. When posts about menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, miscarriage, contraception, or chronic pain are removed or restricted, it silences vital education, reinforces stigma, and creates a double standard when compared to male health content.
Censoring women’s health does not protect users it withholds knowledge, limits access to support, and disproportionately affects those who rely on online communities for care and understanding.
