    Womens' Fightback 37 — Protect trans healthcare & abortion rights 4 all — Summer '26

    Women's Fightback 37, Summer 2026. For centuries medicine had viewed women’s bodies as inferior, unstable, weak and dangerous. This legacy still haunts us. As Women’s Fightback 37, a Health Special went to press, a damning three-year long review of the biggest childbirth scandal in NHS history concludes revealing brutal treatment of those receiving maternity care. Our editorial charts the history of how women’s health has been understood, the role the National Health Service has played in improving women’s health and the challenges we face today through inequality, privatisation and distrust in health systems. We have reports of campaigns of workers improving trans healthcare fighting HIV stigma, saving care services and to support sex worker decriminalisation. Our country profile covers women’s struggles in Hungary, and we have class struggle feminists reports from Latvia, the US and Nigeria. Articles: Editorial: Women's Health, Inequality and the Future of the NHS Trans Segregation, a New Era of Misogyny: the EHRC Code of Practice Sheffield Trans Healthcare Practice Learning Initiative Fight the EHRC Not Reps!
