A response to Bates, Hankivsky and Springer on the WHO Knowledge Network on Women and Gender Equity Commission on Social Determinants of Health.

摘要

We are writing as co-coordinators of the Commission on Social Determinants of Health's (CSDH) Knowledge Network on Women and Gender Equity whose task was to produce a synthetic report (referred to near the end of the commentary) based on a set of commissioned background papers and detailed discussion and feedback among the members of the Network. We too, like Bates (2009), would have loved to see the Final Report of the CSDH (CSDH, 2008a) deal with intersectionality, masculinity and a critique of gender mainstreaming, since all these were discussed in great depth in our own report (Sen, Ostlin, & George, 2007).
