Health and gender, rights and justice

This course will provide students with an understanding of the unjust ways in which people across the world experience unequal opportunities to be healthy because of gender, intersecting systems of social disadvantage and marginalisation, and rights violations. Though gender and rights have found new resonance among global health actors, these approaches are debated and generate dilemmas, contradictions and exclusions. The course will enable students to apply scholarly perspectives on gender and rights to the practice of global health, as well as critically assess those perspectives.
