Sex-and Gender-Based Analysis at Work:
What it means for Women and their Health

Monday, November 30, 2009  1:30 - 4:00 PM
Ottawa Public Library (Main Branch), 120 Metcalfe (at Laurier)
RSVP by emailing info@cwhn.ca. Registration is free.

What is sex- and gender-based analysis, and why is it important?

The forum will explore sex and gender as determinants of health and the concepts of sex, gender, diversity and equity as they relate to health. Panelists from the Centres of Excellence for Women’s Health across Canada will discuss the importance of a sex-and gender-based approach with practical examples from the brand new book, Rising to the Challenge: Sex-and gender-based analysis for health planning, policy and research in Canada. This forum is important for women, those who provide their care, those who research their lives and plan policies that affect them.

Please email info@cwhn.ca by Thursday, November 26 as space is limited. Print invitation

You are also invited to a Reception and Book Launch following the workshop.
