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.
