Request a session

Choose a topic, a language and a format. We publish how many women asked for a topic and nothing at all about them.

What would you like covered?

1. The topic, in your words

The most useful requests are the ones the catalogue does not already cover.

2. Preferred language

3. Format that would suit you

4. Should this count publicly?

Ask privately Your request goes to the editorial team only. It is never shown to other members, and it is not counted in the public demand figure. Add me to the count Your request is added to the anonymous demand total for this topic. The number is published; nothing about you is.

Either way, no individual request is ever listed, searchable or shown to another member. The choice is only about whether it is added to the published total.

5. Which part of India are you in? (optional)

Deliberately coarse. A session about access to public maternity care is a different session in Tamil Nadu and in Bihar.

6. Anything else the host should know (optional)

Please leave out your own diagnosis, dates and clinic. This is a request for a topic, not a question about you — and questions about you belong in a private question.

What women are already asking for

Aggregate totals only. AskHer does not publish, sell or show anyone which topics an individual asked about, and only requests whose sender chose to be counted appear here.

Nobody has asked for a session yet

No topic has been requested so far, so there is no demand to report. Yours would be the first — which makes it more likely to get scheduled, not less.

Who hosts these sessions

Clinical sessions are hosted by clinicians whose registration AskHer has checked. Peer facilitators host conversations about experience — they are trained and they are not clinicians, and every session says which kind it is before you register.

A registration check confirms that a clinician is registered to practise. It is not a judgement about any particular thing she says, and it is never bought.

Your request

: Topic Not written yet
: Language No preference
: Format Any format
: Counting Not chosen yet
: Region Not given

A session request is stored on its own. It is not joined to your account, your questions or your circle membership, it is never listed publicly, and no individual request can be read back by another member.

What happens next

1. Requests are grouped by topic and language.
2. A clinician whose registration AskHer has checked, or a trained facilitator, is approached for the group.
3. If nobody can host it, the topic stays on the published list marked "host being sought" rather than quietly disappearing.
4. Scheduled sessions appear on the sessions page, with registration kept private.

Is this really a question?

If you need an answer about your own body, do not wait for a session. Ask privately and a clinician whose registration AskHer has checked will answer.
