Social Media 'More Likely to Suppress Women's Health Content over Men's', Young People Say

A 2025 survey of 4,000 people found many young adults believe social media suppresses women's health content more than men's.
This perception arises because platforms like Instagram and Facebook often remove women's menstrual and sexual health posts, labeling them as adult content despite anatomical language.
Young adults aged 18-34 heavily rely on social media for health information, with 77% aware of shadow banning, which limits content reach and engagement.
A campaign by Essity, CensHERship, and the Period Equity Alliance aims to end shadow banning, supported by findings that 77% say words like 'vagina' should remain unrestricted in educational posts.
The campaign highlights that unrestricted access to accurate women's health information is crucial, as censorship denies young people essential knowledge to understand their bodies and seek help.
