Structured Gender Oppression

Poor health is intimately linked to systemic gender disparities in the distribution of resources such as income, education, health care, nutrition, and political power. Women's health is frequently impacted indirectly by institutional gender discrimination in other category areas. Women are less likely to be educated, have secure job stability, or enjoy the benefits of social protection, such as access to health care, all across the world, but especially in developing nations. In some circumstances, structural gender disparity is linked to acts of violence, marginalization, and oppression directed towards women.
