The Silent Conversations: Breaking the Stigma Around Women's Health

Guest Keynote

About this session

So much of women's health lives in silence — the period pain never mentioned, the low mood never named, the symptom endured rather than spoken. Clinical psychologist Dr Mariam Njoroge explores why these silences form, what they cost, and how we begin — as families, clinicians and communities — to make it safe for women to say the true sentence out loud.

What you'll take away

  • Recognise the cultural and psychological roots of stigma in women's health
  • Learn language and approaches that invite honest disclosure
  • Understand the mental-health cost of unspoken symptoms
