WOMEN’S POPULATIONS

Just as gender is a key determinant of women’s health, different levels of health are experienced among women due to the social, economic, political and cultural conditions of their lives. There are groups of women whose health is of concern: those marginalised by poverty, culture and discrimination because of race, disability, illness or social stereotyping and difference, work and employment status, experiences of violence, and citizenship.

Resources in this section relate to women as a population group, or sub-groups of women – not necessarily specific to health.
