Feminist Global Health Policy : Addressing Health Inequalities through an Intersectional Perspective Paperback / softback

Health inequalities, primarily driven by the structural determinants of health, are a major concern towards the global goal of health for all.

A feminist global health policy has the potential to address the unequal distribution of power and to dismantle these imbalances.

The prioritisation of intersectional, holistic, human rights-based approaches intends to advance health equality and reproductive justice.

This research examined the contours and potentials of a feminist global health policy by developing a framework.

Online focus groups were conducted with participants affiliated to either the global-academic or local-activist level, envisaging global representation.

The elaborated framework provides a nexus between the global and the local level, by entailing universal principles as well as recommendations and sensitivity for context-specific adaptations.

Community and policymakers are identified as key actors.

This research aims to stimulate a debate on feminist global health policy and the potential of this framework with regard to health equality and reproductive justice.
