Gender-sensitive Health Policies

Gender-sensitive health policies are strategies that recognize how gender influences health needs, experiences, and access to care. They aim to ensure that health services are fair and effective for everyone, regardless of gender, by addressing specific barriers faced by different genders. This includes considering factors like gender roles, cultural expectations, and biological differences, so all individuals receive appropriate, equitable care. These policies help reduce health inequities, improve outcomes, and promote overall well-being by creating a healthcare system that respects and responds to diverse gender experiences.
