We know the causes of death and disease among women all over the
world. We have the money to tacklet it. We have the commitment of
the WHO, foundations in rich countries and governments in poorer
countries. So why isn't it working? In this powerful, accessible
book, Sophie Harman identifies three key problems that hijack
women's health: populist politics, misapplied inclusion strategies
and burdening women in the health sector. She breaks down cases
like the WHO sexual abuse scandal in DRC, Serena Williams'
near-death experience and the Global Gag rule, as well as less
well-known issues around trans health, the visibility trap and the
stress placed on women health-workers, to illustrate what's going
wrong, and offers smart solutions on how to fix it through activism
and political work.
