Gender

According to the United Nations, gender equality is fundamental to the
achievement of all seventeen of the Sustainable Development Goals, affecting
access to quality health care, exposure to health risks, and the outcomes of
disease and disability—for children and parents alike. Conversely,
improvements in health, from lower child mortality to greater access to
reproductive care, can alter the power to access gender-related rights and
freedoms. This section examines the new ways in which health and gender
intersect and reinforce each other. .
