We are in the fight of our lives in gender and health. Gender influences everything – from the resources and opportunities available to you, to the care you receive.
Yet gender is being weaponised, manipulated and politicised, with damaging implications for the health of communities around the world. A lack of understanding around links between gender and health is negatively affecting health outcomes.
Applying a ‘gender lens’ to health policy – understanding the different health considerations required depending on gender – will improve health for everyone.
