ENGENDER Policy Briefings

ENGENDER, a DG Health and Consumer funded project, is led by the Karolinska Institute of Sweden in partnership with nine associated organisations (including the EIWH) all of whom active in research, health and gender policy. The overall aim of ENGENDER is to increase awareness and knowledge for all stakeholders, including policy makers, politicians, researchers, health NGOs within and outside the health sector about effective policies and programmes to achieve gender equity in health.

Based on the information on good practices in the ENGENDER database, six policy briefings have been produced by the ENGENDER partnership for dissemination to policy makers.  The creation of the six policy briefs was based on the analysis of the ENGENDER database of good practice in promoting gender equity in health.  The briefings have been designed in such a way as to provide practical examples on each policy area, informing policymakers of best practice models of promoting gender equity in policy development in each of the six policy areas.
