No. 5 (2010): New reflections on health from a gender perspective

Analyzing health from a gender perspective requires reporting on gender inequalities and inequities in order to explain the health status of women and men, on the way in which they consult and are cared for in the health system, trying to identify gender stereotypes that motivate different and unequal results in the provision of services.

Incorporating the gender perspective into the study of health is to reveal the differential status of women and men in our society, the power relations between the sexes and the social control over women.

In this volume of Gender Issues: From Equality to Difference, we reflect on social stereotypes around the body, health and illness of women.
