A Research Agenda for Gender and Health critically examines a diverse range of health topics relating to gender. Employing a global range of empirical case studies, expert authors assert that gender equality is fundamental to creating healthier societies.This multidisciplinary Research Agenda explores how gender drives specific health outcomes and is an integral feature of how other health determinants are experienced. Chapters assess key topics such as the impact of colonialism on understandings of gender and health; the roles and interactions of the private and public sector; the emergence of new anti-gender opposition; and the governance of the gender and health nexus. Overall, the authors not only evaluate current policy and practice but also propose new concepts and ideas for future research.This Research Agenda is an essential resource for students and scholars of gender studies, public health, geography and social policy. It will also appeal to researchers interested in international development and global health.
