The Platform for Action of the 1995 UN conference in Beijing set out a framework for understanding the negative impact of gender inequalities on individuals and on the wider society. Both national and international policy-makers have now begun to take these issues more seriously as they reshape development policies in the context of global restructuring. This has been especially evident in the health field. It is against this background that the Global Forum for Health Research has taken up gender issues with considerable vigour over the last two or three years. The aims of this work have been twofold: to ensure better science and to promote gender equity. The Global Forum is now committed to mainstreaming gender through all its work. This was clearly reflected in Forum 6 in Arusha, Tanzania (November 2002) where the programme was planned to ensure that gender issues were high on the agenda. All participants were also given a briefing document and resource guide entitled Sex, gender and the 10/90 gap."(pg 5)engWith permission of the license/copyright holderhealth ethicsGender ethicsBioethicsHealth ethicsConference proceedings
