Women Not Included: Safety Equipment

Listen in app
Safety equipment is often designed around an “average” male body and Dr Ella Hubber wants to understand the consequences this has for women. Alongside journalist Candice Bailey and expert voices, we hear how healthcare workers are forced to adapt to PPE never made for them and how car safety systems fail to reflect the way women’s bodies respond in collisions.
As awareness grows, they also ask what change can look like and if, through better data, and more women’s input, safety equipment can protect us all equally.
