(Newsletter October 2023)

Join the discussion on Advancing Equity: Improving Population Health Through Gender Mainstreaming in Policy led by Vital Strategies’ Data Impact Program on Oct. 20, 2023 at 11:00 am New Delhi Time.

India’s parliament passed a landmark bill that will reserve a third of its seats in the lower house and state assemblies for women, in a major win for rights groups that have for decades campaigned for better gender representation in politics. Globally we have seen similar changes to ensure more equitable gender representation and with that, a deeper consideration of gender in laws and policies. These systematic changes have major implications on population health.
