A Framework and Indicators for Monitoring Gender Equality and Health in the Americas
The Framework stresses that "a distinction must be made between the biological and physiological nature of sex, and the roles and responsibilities in society imposed and adopted according to gender beliefs." Indicators are crucial for measuring the progress toward gender equality in health. The intended audience includes ministries of health, national mechanisms for the advancement of gender equality, planning offices, academia, PAHO/WHO staff, and other stakeholders.
