Reports on the Auditor-General’s examination of seven federal government departments whose responsibilities can affect men and women differently. Details the findings that several departments lag behind, and two completely fail to implement GBA. Also describes the history of how GBA policy came to be developed with the federal government’s stated commitment to GBA in 1995.
Provides an historical perspective on the development of GBA and case studies on GBA policy development and programme implementation, and assessments of tools used to evaluate the efficacy of these GBA programmes. Also analyzes the relationship between gender, poverty and health.
Explores how health researchers, policy analysts, program and service managers, decision makers, and academics can apply an intersectional perspective to their work. Discusses intersectionality, a new paradigm used to study, understand, and respond to how sex and gender intersect with other variables such as ethnicity and class, and how these intersections contribute to unique experiences of health.

Examines contemporary pressures to move towards the privatization and commercialization of water services and delivery in Canada and evaluates the gendered health implications for women that would flow from these choices.
A book and a series of workshops were created by the Atlantic, British Columbia and Prairie Centres of Excellence which outline the core concepts and process of undertaking sex- and gender-based analysis (SGBA). This article describes the successes of both the book and workshop in helping people understand and integrate SGBA into their work.
