    Study Notes

    Gender and Health Inequalities: Key Concepts and Implications for Sustainable Development

    • Gender disparities exist in health outcomes, with more men dying from alcohol-related causes, tuberculosis, road crashes, and violent deaths compared to women.
    • Social norms and expectations contribute to men's health risks and hinder health-seeking behavior, as taking action on health is often viewed as unmanly in many communities.
    • Harmful expressions of masculinity, such as violence against women and risky sexual practices, are associated with established social norms and men's disempowerment due to poverty and economic change.
    • Gender must be understood in a complex and specific local context, as different experiences of oppression and privilege shape health, well-being, and illness.
    • Ethnicity, poverty, and gender intersect and contribute to health inequalities, impacting access to healthcare and well-being.
    • The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reflect an expanded interpretation of gender that includes a range of inequalities and considers men as well as women, grounded in human rights principles and universality.
    • Mainstreaming gender requires concrete actions to eliminate inequalities in policies and practices, ensuring universal health coverage and financial protection measures for marginalized populations.
    • Monitoring health inequalities and collecting data reflecting income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, and disabilities is crucial for addressing disparities.
    • Improving the coverage of health services by removing barriers across sectors and mobilizing communities through accountability mechanisms and participatory learning groups is essential for meeting the SDGs.
    • An expanded social justice perspective is needed to address gender and women's health disparities, representing both a challenge and hope for health, well-being, and dignity for all.
    • The nuanced exploration of gender represents a key opportunity for progress on ecologically sustainable development and health equity.
    • Understanding the complex and layered nature of gender is crucial for addressing health disparities and promoting well-being and dignity for all.
