Book Synopsis

We know the causes of death and disease among women all over the world. We have the money to tacklet it. We have the commitment of the WHO, foundations in rich countries and governments in poorer countries. So why isn''t it working?

In this powerful, accessible book, Sophie Harman identifies three key problems that hijack women''s health: populist politics, misapplied inclusion strategies and burdening women in the health sector. She breaks down cases like the WHO sexual abuse scandal in DRC, Serena Williams'' near-death experience and the Global Gag rule, as well as less well-known issues around trans health, the visibility trap and the stress placed on women health-workers, to illustrate what''s going wrong, and offers smart solutions on how to fix it through activism and political work.
