Description
Summary:[...]there is growing recognition of the concept of gender as identity—ie, a deeply held personal sense of one's self as male, female, transgender, non-binary, fluid, genderqueer, or any of many other gender identities. SHa has received a grant from Stanford University related to the Series; a grant from UNFPA for development of a conceptual framework for mainstreaming gender into UNFPA's key areas; a grant from the WHO Tobacco Control programme to develop a review of the relationship between tobacco control and gender-responsive policies; and a grant from the WHO Gender, Equity and Rights programme to develop a conceptual framework of the relationship between gender and health inequities. The work of the Series on gender equality, norms and health was supported by the Gender Equality, Integrated Delivery, HIV, Nutrition, Family Planning, and Water Sanitation and Hygiene Program Strategy Teams at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, through grants to Stanford University.
