This Handbook brings together a groundbreaking collection of
chapters that uses a gender lens to explore health, health care and
health policy in both the Global South and North. Empirical
evidence is drawn from a variety of different settings and points
to the many ways in which the gendered dimensions of health have
become reworked across the globe. This collection includes
insightful contributions from 56 leading authorities from Africa,
the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, offering a wealth
of knowledge, theoretical reflection, and empirical detail on the
essential elements surrounding gender and health. Topics covered
include theoretical approaches to understanding gender and health,
migration, sexuality, ageing, masculinities, climate change and
sexual and reproductive rights. Split into four thematic sections,
this book strives to develop a clear road map towards achieving
gender justice in health. The Handbook on Gender and Health will be
an important resource for researchers, students, and instructors of
health policy and family and gender studies. Contributors include:
