Mainstreaming gender within the WHO Health Emergencies Programme available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The WHE Gender Mainstreaming Strategy (2022-2026) aims to provide guidance on how to systemically analyze and address relevant gender issues across WHE policies and programmes, to enable WHE work to contribute to gender equity and equality, which in turn will strengthen health emergency programming at all levels. It also provides strategic direction to facilitate how WHE can respond to the specific gender-based needs and risks that women, men, girls and boys and people with diverse gender identities experience as a consequence of health emergencies, in ways that improve the design and delivery of WHE policies and programmes, and contribute to reducing gender-inequalities including morbidity and mortality but also the medium and long term socio-economic effects of emergencies. This strategy is intended to guide WHE programming across the local, national, regional and global levels. It was developed by the WHE Gender Working Group, and responds to specific recommendations included in the WHA Resolution 74.7 on Strengthening WHO Preparedness for and response to health emergencies[1], among other key documents.

"Global health security, focused on a firefighting short-term response efforts fail to consider the differential impacts of outbreaks on women. For example, the policy response to the Zika outbreak centred on limiting the spread of the vector through civic participation and asking women to defer pregnancy. Both actions are inherently gendered and reveal a distinct lack of consideration of the everyday lives of women. These policies placed women in a position whereby were blamed if they had a child born with Congenital Zika Syndrome, and at the same time governments required women to undertake invisible labour for vector control. What does this tell us about the role of women in global health security? This feminist critique of the Zika outbreak, argues that global health security has thus far lacked a substantive feminist engagement, with the result that the very policies created to manage an outbreak of disease disproportionately fail to protect women. Women are both differentially infected and affected by epidemics. Yet, the dominant policy narrative of global health security has created pathways which focus on protecting the international spread of disease to state economies, rather than protecting those who are most at risk. As such, the state-based structure of global health security provides the fault-line for global health security and women. This book highlights the ways in which women are disadvantaged by global health security policy, through engagement with feminist security studies concepts of visibility; social and stratified reproduction; intersectionality; and structural violence. It argues that it was no coincidence that poor, black women living in low quality housing were the most affected by the Zika outbreak and will continue to be so, until global health security is gender mainstreamed. More broadly, I ask what would global health policy look like if it were to take gender seriously, and how would this impact global disease control sustainability?"--
