Feminist Health Theory

Feminist Health Theory examines how gender, particularly women's experiences, influences health and healthcare. It critiques traditional medical practices that often overlook women's needs and experiences, advocating for a more inclusive approach to health that considers the social, economic, and cultural factors affecting women. This theory emphasizes the importance of understanding power dynamics in healthcare, promoting women's agency in health decisions, and addressing inequalities in health outcomes. Ultimately, it seeks to create a more equitable health system that respects and prioritizes women's voices and perspectives.
