Health policies must consider gender, including men

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Health policies that do not consider gendered patterns in health continue to undermine efforts to improve global health and wellbeing.1 When health policies do include gender considerations, gender is almost always used to refer to women and women's health. Greater progress on women's health is a crucial and unfinished project, but the concept of gender should take an all-encompassing view to understand how gendered norms and practices across society shape health problems that require gender-responsive solutions that benefit everyone.
