Gender Bender

Social stigmas are commonplace in Egypt, but this particular stigma affects women's health. In this episode we're looking at going to the gynecologist and whether or not it's an easy decision to take, especially under certain circumstances. We talk to an interviewee who feels anxious every time she goes for a checkup because she's not sure if her hymen is intact and she's worried she might get found out. This episode is produced by Abdullah Ghanem and myself Mariam Ismail. Gender Bender is an arcast production. * arcast.fm: arcast.fm [https://arcast.fm]
