HSCL is currently conducting an in-depth state-level gender analysis aimed to shed light on the multifaceted factors contributing to gender inequalities across the selected regions. These regions encompass a diverse range of sociocultural norms, economic conditions, and healthcare infrastructures, offering a valuable opportunity to identify both common themes and unique challenges related to gender disparities.
The analysis will also identify gaps, limitations, and available resources or structures that influence and determine the degree to which sexual behavior, risk-taking, and health-seeking behavior are affected, as well as the access to and utilization of the continuum of care for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCH+N).
Project Goal
The primary objective of this analysis is to examine and understand the numerous challenges and opportunities that confront women and girls within the context of Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child Health, and Nutrition (RMNCH+N) services.
Objectives
- Assess the influence of gender roles and norms, investigate harmful gender norms and practices
