Incorporating intersectional gender analysis into research on infectious diseases of poverty: a toolkit for health researchers
Overview
This toolkit aims to strengthen the capacity of
researchers working on infectious diseases of
poverty by incorporating an intersectional gender
approach.
The objectives of this document are to:
1) strengthen the research capacity of disease-affected
countries in intersectional gender
approaches;
2) understand and address barriers to effective
and quality implementation of health interventions
oriented to prevent and control infectious
diseases; and
3) explore solutions for enhancing equality in
access to quality health care.
While this toolkit includes a focus on research that prioritizes the prevention and control of infectious diseases of poverty, it is equally relevant to other health research and interventions.
