Chronic pain is one of the main serious health consequences in the population and two out of three people who suffer from it are women. Its consequences can be devastating, generating significant limitations with serious effects on socio-economic independence. In addition, this situation, especially in women, can generate a lack of social opportunities, inequalities and exclusions, not sufficiently evaluated, which are enhanced by the educational, labor and economic gap related to gender.

This situation justifies the need to deepen the knowledge of the development of chronic pain and its bio-psycho-social mechanisms, with a more concrete analysis of its impact in terms of public health and social opportunity in relation to gender.

The “Women and Pain” PLATFORM is an initiative that arose from the concern of several professionals involved in different areas of our society, constituting itself as an independent association with a social and scientific, multidisciplinary character, which aims to promote social awareness for the study or research of pain in women in areas related to illness, violence and society, through the participation of institutions and professionals who focus on chronic pain and its consequences on women.

We intend to bring together all those people, institutions, societies or public or private organizations that believe and feel identified with the mission and objectives of the Women and Pain Platform in order to make this non-profit project the reality that we all hope for.

We encourage you to join this exciting project.
