Sommario/riassunto

The book 'Gender Health Promotion,' edited by Rachael Moore, explores the intersection of gender and health, emphasizing the importance of challenging and transforming gender norms and power dynamics to improve health outcomes. It addresses gender disparities by promoting equality, empowering women and girls, and engaging men and boys as



allies. Key topics include gender-based violence, reproductive health, and social determinants of health. The book comprises eight chapters, each focusing on different aspects of health promotion through a gender lens, such as mental health, media influence, and educational settings. It serves as a resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in gender equality and health promotion.
