SUMMARY:Introduction to Gender Equality and Global Health
DESCRIPTION:Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right\, but a necessary foundation for a healthy\, peaceful\, and prosperous world. A person’s gender affects their ability to reduce their exposure to risks of poor health\, access healthcare\, adopt health-seeking behaviours\, and achieve good health and well-being. To be effective\, global health programs must adopt a gender integration approach that systematically works to reduce gender-related barriers to good health and well-being and advance gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment. \nThis introductory course takes a participatory approach to building global health practitioners’ skills to design\, implement\, monitor\, and evaluate gender transformative programmes. The course will follow a typical project cycle\, taking participants through key entry points for gender integration at each stage. Faculty from Canadian and global private and public sector institutions (e.g.\, academia\, NGOs\, government) will share their real-world experiences in gender integration in global health programmes\, and case studies will cover various sub-sectors\, such as immunization\, nutrition\, and malaria. In addition to gender analysis\, participants will learn how to apply an intersectional lens to gender-transformative approaches\, enhancing their understanding and promotion of social inclusion and the social determinants of health. Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences with gender integration through group work and short assignments. \nCourse modules will include\, among others: \n\nIntroduction to Gender and Health: Provides an overview of key gender concepts—such as the differences between sex and gender\, gender norms\, roles\, and stereotypes—and explores how these factors impact health outcomes\, with essential terms and definitions in global health.\nGlobal Health Challenges and Gender Inequality: Examines major global health challenges and how gender inequality shapes health outcomes\, supported by case studies that illustrate the connections between gender and health.\nGender-Based Violence and Its Impact on Health: Covers various forms of gender-based violence (GBV) and their physical\, mental\, and reproductive health consequences\, along with strategies for GBV prevention and response within healthcare settings.\nPolicies and Programs for Gender Equality in Health: Reviews key global frameworks and agreements (e.g.\, SDGs\, CEDAW) alongside national policies that advance gender equality in health\, featuring case studies of effective gender-focused health interventions.\n\nRegister here!
