Provides an introduction to how participant-driven visual methods (e.g., photography, video) can be used in gender and health research. Drawing on examples from past research projects the session explores how visual methods enable us to “see” or surface gender in qualitative data. Particular attention is given to the use of visual findings to explore social theories of gender, embodiment, addiction and illness.
A joint policy brief that examines how to reduce gender inequities using health systems. The key messages are:
- Data on mortality, morbidity and use of health services reveal some important differences in health experiences between women and men. - Health systems can make important contributions to gender equality and gender equity by addressing gender in a variety of ways. - Identifying gender inequalities and addressing gender equity are also central to good stewardship of health systems.
