Gender and Health Equity Network (GHEN)


The Gender and Health Equity Network is a partnership of national and international institutions concerned with developing and implementing policies to improve gender and health equity, particularly in resource constrained environments. It is involved in developing the evidence base for gender inequalities in health and in building on these insights to carry out intervention studies in four countries. These studies use a range of practical and participatory methodologies in working with local stakeholders to implement interventions to improve health equity. Countries participating in the intervention phase are India, China, Mozambique and Sweden.

The GHEN website provides brief information on the network partners in each of these countries, summaries of the country case studies, a list of GHEN publications with some links to full text, information on relevant workshops and links to relevant websites.
