"The *Gender mainstreaming for health managers: a practical approach
<https://www.who.int/publications-detail-redirect/9789241501057>*
manual addresses
how gender norms, roles and relations affect health-related behaviours and
outcomes as well as health sector responses. At the same time, it
recognizes that gender inequality is a cross-cutting determinant of health
that operates in conjunction with other forms of discrimination based on
factors such as age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity or place of origin and
sexual orientation. The manual provides a basis for addressing other forms
of health-related discrimination.

"The first edition of the manual dates from 2011, and WHO is now updating
it in light of new scientific evidence and conceptual progress on gender,
health and development

"The review and update process will build on the extensive work already
featured in the manual. It will focus on:

1. Updating key concepts around gender;

2. Highlighting and expanding on the concept of *intersectionality*, which
looks at how gender power dynamics interact with other hierarchies of
privilege or disadvantage, resulting in inequality and differential health
outcomes for different people. Intersecting factors include sex, ethnicity,
race, age, class, socioeconomic status, religion, language, geographical
location, disability status, migration status, gender identity and
expression, sexual orientation and political situation.

*3. Going beyond binary approaches* to gender and health to recognize *gender
and sexual diversity, *or the concepts that gender identity exists on a
continuum and that sex is not limited to male or female.

 4. Introducing *new gender, equity and human rights frameworks and tools* to
further support capacity building around these concepts and the integration
of their approaches in the work of WHO."
