About CensHERship

CensHERship is a UK-based campaign that’s aiming to end the routine censorship of women’s health content online.

The campaign was launched in 2024 by Clio Wood, a women’s health advocate, author and founder of &Breathe, and Anna O’Sullivan, founder of FutureFemHealth.

Our research has already been published in The Times and other national publications - showing that shocking 9 in 10 survey respondents have faced censorship of women’s health and sexual wellness content. Find out more about our insights to date here.

This issue is one that Clio has personally experienced. She said:

“My reach has previously been restricted simply because I posted about body confidence wearing a bikini, and because I encourage women to take ownership of their identity. I remind women that their sexual wellbeing is important; my content is not graphic, explicit or inappropriate, yet I receive daily spam messages from bot accounts with naked profile pictures. This inequality has to change.”

Anna, who writes regularly about the gender health gap, FemTech and women’s health innovation said:

“Boosting women’s health will help millions of women live healthier, longer lives and bolster the global economy by at least $1 trillion a year, according to McKinsey. Yet all too often the businesses, founders, creators and medical professionals who are providing the solutions, education and breaking down taboos are being restricted from doing so by social media platforms. It’s an unnecessary extra barrier we have to remove.”
