Book Description
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.

Feminist Global Health Security
Author: Clare Wenham
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197556930
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Global health security, focused on short-term response efforts, fails to consider the differential impacts of outbreaks on women. Feminist Global Health Security highlights the ways in which women are disadvantaged by global health security policy, through engagement with feminist international relations concepts of visibility, social and stratified reproduction, intersectionality, and structural violence. Wenham ultimately asks, what would global health policy look like if it were to take gender seriously, and how would this impact global disease control?

WHO management response to preventing and responding to sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment
Author: World Health Organization
Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9240077324
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
WHO developed its Management Response Plan (MRP) in October 2021 building on the recommendations of the Independent Commission on Allegations of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the Response to the Tenth Ebola Outbreak. The MRP crowdsourced ideas from WHO colleagues and leaders across the world, suggestions from WHO member states and incorporated best practice from across the UN system to address sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEAH). It launched the first accelerated phase of WHO’s work on preventing and response to all forms of sexual misconduct perpetrated by our personnel. In December 2022 the MRP was concluded with 92% of its 150 actions implemented and the remaining 8% transitioned into the three-year strategy for preventing and responding to sexual misconduct that came into effect in January 2023. This publication documents the implementation of the Management Response Plan by the World Health Organization over the period October 2021–December 2022.

Viral Loads
Author: Lenore Manderson
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1800080239
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
Drawing upon the empirical scholarship and research expertise of contributors from all settled continents and from diverse life settings and economies, Viral Loads illustrates how the COVID-19 pandemic, and responses to it, lay bare and load onto people’s lived realities in countries around the world. A crosscutting theme pertains to how social unevenness and gross economic disparities are shaping global and local responses to the pandemic, and illustrate the effects of both the virus and efforts to contain it in ways that amplify these inequalities. At the same time, the contributions highlight the nature of contemporary social life, including virtual communication, the nature of communities, neoliberalism and contemporary political economies, and the shifting nature of nation states and the role of government. Over half of the world’s population has been affected by restrictions of movement, with physical distancing requirements and self-isolation recommendations impacting profoundly on everyday life but also on the economy, resulting also, in turn, with dramatic shifts in the economy and in mass unemployment. By reflecting on how the pandemic has interrupted daily lives, state infrastructures and healthcare systems, the contributing authors in this volume mobilise anthropological theories and concepts to locate the pandemic in a highly connected and exceedingly unequal world. The book is ambitious in its scope – spanning the entire globe – and daring in its insistence that medical anthropology must be a part of the growing calls to build a new world.
