Two women from Diemen featured in 'The Female Night Watch' for better women's health
Published
Two women from Diemen have been immortalised in 'The Female Night Watch', an art project that refers to Rembrandt's famous Night Watch. The project centres on women who are committed to an important social issue.
The aim of the project is to draw attention to women's health. Women are often studied less than men in medical practice and in research, and as a result there are still many unknowns in some areas. With the project, the organisation wants to raise money for scientific research. Particular attention is paid to cardiovascular disease, because these conditions often present differently in women than in men.
The participation of the two women from Diemen shows that local residents can play a role in a national initiative. By sharing their stories, the initiators hope to reach more people and motivate them to support the research.
How much money will ultimately be raised and which studies will be funded with it is not yet known. Anyone who wants to support the project or learn more about the participants can contact the organisation behind 'The Female Night Watch'.
