For many women around the globe, health has become the central
intersection of the personal and the political; women's bodies are
the arena for policy debates about population, poverty,
reproduction, and morality. Women's Global Health: Norms and State
Policies is a comprehensive assessment of health for women around
the globe that will inform debates underway in a wide range of
disciplines. These fields include public health, most obviously,
but also sociology, anthropology and other disciplines. This book
will advance the interdisciplinary fields of ethics, women's
studies, and international studies. It answers several questions
with implications for knowledge in the preceding fields, along with
relevance to policy. Some of these complex questions include: How
do the laws and policies of a nation-state affect women's health?
Is the state invested in these issues because women are seen to be
bearers and nurturers of future citizens? Or are there other
concerns such as economic development, human welfare, or religious
ideology that shape this engagement? This book also examines the
current and historical responsibilities of the state in addressing
women's health issues, and how these responsibilities can they be
measured and improved upon. Finally, the book looks at how to best
approach the underlying ethical issues in practical and useful ways
for women around the globe.
