Gender and Women's Health

We aim to advance the health of women in Australia and internationally, to reduce inequity and create positive change.

Through research, teaching and public engagement, our work contributes to a robust knowledge base about the health effects of gender inequity and its intersection with social, economic and cultural factors.
