Taking stock and moving forward: championing gender and health in the Western Pacific Region

Overview

Action on gender, equity and human rights is core to leaving no one behind, while making the Western Pacific Region the healthiest and safest region and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (‎SDGs)‎. As gender affects health and creates inequities in health outcomes both among and within countries, applying a gender lens will increase the effectiveness, reach and impact of our solutions. This report reflects on best practices and lessons learned on how WHO has successfully developed tailor-fit gender responsive actions across various programmes and policies in the Western Pacific over the past three years.
