04 WHO : gender equality

"Gender inequality and discrimination faced by women and girls puts their health and wellbeing at risk. Women and girls often face greater barriers than men and boys to accessing health information and services. These include restrictions on mobility; lack of access to decision-making power; lower literacy rates; discriminatory attitudes of communities and health care providers and lack of training and awareness amongst health care providers and health system of the specific health needs and challenges." World Health Organization (WHO)
