The Women and Gender Equity Knowledge Network focuses on mechanisms, processes and actions that can be taken to reduce gender-based inequities in health by examining the following five areas:

• Factors affecting social stratification and how to improve women's status relative to men.
• Differential exposures to health-damaging factors.
• Differential vulnerabilities leading to inequitable health outcomes.
• Differential economical and social consequences of illness and reproductive health needs.
• Engendering health systems and health research.

A key component of this work includes identifying best practice examples of programs, policies and interventions that can be scaled up to reduce gender-based inequities in health and therefore generating knowledge for action.
