Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales (FTWW)

Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales (FTWW) is the only patient-led third sector organisation in Wales dedicated solely to women’s health equality. We support, inform, educate, and advocate for girls, women and those assigned female at birth (AFAB) in Wales who are suffering a range of health conditions and who are not receiving adequate (or fair) treatment. Many of the organisation’s users feel that this is, in large part, due to the lack of specialist provision in Wales, and a system which currently doesn’t routinely allow patients to choose and book those clinicians best able to provide care considered to be ‘gold standard’. FTWW aims to empower women to speak up with confidence amidst a medical and societal environment which often tends to privilege the male experience, sometimes dismissing women’s symptoms and concerns as being ‘psychological’ in origin. FTWW is a not-for-profit organisation, registered with Community and Voluntary Support Conwy, a member of the Wales Council for Voluntary Action, and a registered charity with the Charity Commission, registered charity number 1191069.
