gendered inequalities can give rise to inequities between men and women in health status and access to health care.
Consider the following, for example:
A woman cannot receive needed health care because norms in her community prevent her from travelling alone to a clinic.
A teenage boy dies in an accident because of trying to live up to his peers’ expectations that young men should be “bold” risk-takers.
A married woman contracts HIV because societal standards encourage her husband’s promiscuity while simultaneously preventing her from insisting on condom use.
Despite improvements in tobacco control activities, a country’s lung cancer mortality rate for men continues to grow as smoking is considered an attractive marker of masculinity
Health promotion can either improve or exacerbate health outcomes and gender equality.
