As 2025 comes to a close, Dr Louise Newson reflects on the progress that’s been made this year, as well as the ongoing frustration of knowing too many women are still not being listened to or supported.

Drawing on what she sees in her clinic, through research and in conversations with women and clinicians around the world, she asks whether things are truly progressing or whether we’re going back in time.

It’s an honest, end-of-year reflection on why choice, evidence and shared knowledge are so important, and why the voices of women and clinicians working together are what will shape what comes next.
