Gender, Health and Globalization: A critical social movement perspective

Manisha Desai

Development, 2004, vol. 47, issue 2, 36-42

Abstract: Manisha Desai looks at the international women's health movement (IWHM). She argues that changing gender relations have engendered the discourse of global health and raised the particular concern of women's health to the forefront of discussions about health. At the same time, because of IWHM the globalization of health and disease have also become pathways to changed gender relations that have led to community level changes in norms and practices that reproduce gender inequalities.
