Gender Inequality and Health Disparities: Addressing Social Discrimination and Poverty in the Pursuit of Equitable Healthcare
Abstract
Achieving health equity is central to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This chapter examines how gender inequality and poverty intersect to create systemic barriers to equitable healthcare. It explores the multifaceted impacts of social discrimination and marginalisation on health outcomes, drawing on global and regional data to highlight disparities. Strategies for addressing these issues are discussed, including policy reform, community-based interventions, and the integration of intersectional approaches. The chapter underscores the urgency of addressing gender and socioeconomic inequalities to foster sustainable, inclusive health systems that leave no one behind, aligning with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality).
