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:

This book argues that despite the hype within many policy circles,
there is actually very little evidence to support the presumed
benefits of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in reducing poverty
and addressing inequalities in the provision of and access to
public services. Taking a cross-sectoral comparative approach, this
book investigates how PPPs have played out in practice, and what
the implications have been for inequalities. Drawing on a range of
empirical case studies in education, healthcare, housing and water,
the book picks apart the roles of PPPs as financing mechanisms in
several international and national contexts and considers the
similarities and differences between sectors. The global COVID-19
pandemic has raised significant questions about the future of
social provision and through its analysis of the emergence and
expansion of the role of PPPs, the book also makes a vital
contribution to current discussion over this rapidly changing
landscape. Overall, this wide-ranging guide to understanding and
evaluating the role of PPPs in the Global South will be useful to
researchers within development, international relations, economics,
and related fields, as well as to policy makers and practitioners
working in development-related policy.

This book is a critical resource for understanding the relationship
between gender, social policy and women's activism in Latin
America, with specific reference to Chile. Latin America's
mother-centered kinship system makes it an ideal field in which to
study motherhood and maternalism-the ways in which motherhood
becomes a public policy issue. As maternalism embraces and enhances
gender differences, it has been criticized for deepening gender
inequalities. Yet invoking motherhood continues to offer an
effective strategy for advancing women's living conditions and
rights, and for women themselves to be present in the public
sphere. In analyzing these important relationships, the
contributors to this volume discuss maternal health, sexual and
reproductive rights, labor programs, paid employment, women miners'
unionization, housing policies, environmental suffering, and LGBTQ
intimate partner violence.

Should migrants have the same rights as citizens to health care
services? What do we mean by rights and by health? And how do we
uphold such rights when diasporic networks provide a diversity of
opportunities and constraints for people seeking to maintain or
restore their health? Answering these pressing questions, this book
highlights recent developments in the areas of migration, human
rights and health from a range of countries. Looking at diverse
health issues, from HIV to reproductive and maternal health, and a
variety of forms of migration, including asylum seeking, labour
migration and trafficking, this timely volume exposes the factors
that contribute to the vulnerability of different mobile groups as
they seek to uphold their wellbeing. Migration, Health and
Inequality argues that we need to look beyond host country
responses and biomedical frameworks and include both the role of
transnational health networks and indigenous, popular or lay ideas
about health when trying to understand why many migrants suffer
from low levels of health relative to their host population.
Offering a broad range of linkages between migrant agency,
transnationalism and diaspora mechanisms, this unique collection
also looks at the impact of migrant health on the health and rights
of those communities that are left behind.
