Multiple Discrimination and Racism in the Medical Care of Women* in Bielefeld

An Evening About Health, Justice, and the Quiet Breaks in the Care System

At the Bielefeld Adult Education Center, a lecture focuses on a topic that many women* know from personal experience but is discussed far too rarely in public: Multiple discrimination and racism in medical care. On Thursday, October 1, 2026, Prof. Dr. Dr. Hürrem Tezcan-Güntekin will discuss structures that affect both patients and employees in the healthcare system.

When Medical Care Does Not Work Equally for Everyone

The evening begins with a reality that often remains invisible in everyday life. Women* experience not only medical questions but also racist attributions, sexist patterns, and other forms of exclusion in the healthcare system. The lecture contextualizes these experiences, presents scientific perspectives, and clarifies how closely intertwined racism, sexism, and classism can be.

Science Meets Lived Experience

Prof. Dr. Dr. Hürrem Tezcan-Güntekin sheds light on the situation with studies and a clear view of care practices. This creates an event experience that connects expertise and social relevance. The audience mood is likely to be characterized by contemplation, interest, and exchange, as the topic touches on medical practice, equality, and participation simultaneously.

An Evening in the Historical Hall of the VHS

The Bielefeld Adult Education Center offers a suitable setting for this lecture with the Historical Hall in Ravensberger Park. The location stands for education, discussion, and public debate. Those attending the event will experience a compact lecture session with a clear structure, good accessibility, and an environment designed for exchange.
