Gender Equality in Health Committee
Gender equality is integral to addressing infectious diseases, as women and marginalized genders often face greater barriers to healthcare access, education, and decision-making. Promoting gender equity empowers communities, improves disease prevention and treatment outcomes, and ensures that health responses are inclusive and effective in reducing the burden of infectious diseases.
