  • A ‘Common Sense’ Response to Health Inequalities in Peru? Public-Private Partnerships in Health and the Implications for the Right to Health and Economic Inequality

    Open Access•Camila Gianella, Jasmine Gideon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Human Rights Practice•2024•References: 4

    Drawing on the case of Peru, our analysis looks at the ways in which the mainstream media creates support for government policies aimed at implementing Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the health sector. Peru has a highly fragmented and segmented healthcare system, and the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the deeply embedded inequalities in accessing healthcare across the country. Nevertheless, the construction of hospitals financed and managed via…

  • Crafting arts-based stories of exile, resistance and trauma among Chileans in the UK

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon•ARTICLE•New Community•2024•Cited by: 4•References: 60

    In 2017 an exhibition of over 100 craft pieces created by Chilean political prisoners held in concentration camps during the military dictatorship, was launched in the UK along with an accompanying short film, 'Crafting Resistance: the Art of Chilean Political Prisoners'. Drawing on these arts-based interventions, the paper reflects on the use of craft objects both as a symbol of political resistance and a means of initiating difficult conversati…

  • Attitudes to adolescent pregnancy among families in the Dominican Republic and El Salvador: Insights from a longitudinal study

    Jasmine Gideon, Olivia Engle•ARTICLE•Culture Health & Sexuality•2023

    Over the past few decades growing attention has focused on the perceived challenge of adolescent pregnancy and the need for girls to make 'smart choices'. This has generated considerable debate particularly because of the failure of many programmes and interventions to consider the structural constraints faced by young women in accessing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Yet limited attention has been given to the views and experi…

  • Cuban Youth: Changing Attitudes Towards Sexual and Reproductive Health

    Open Access•Fiona Samuels, Maxine Molyneux et al.•ARTICLE•Progress in Development Studies•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 7

    Cuba remains one of the few countries still governed by a communist party. Despite its socialist commitments, including to gender equality, these have not been fully achieved and norms concerning gender roles are often at variance with revolutionary values. Focusing on youth and particularly young women, this article draws on primary data collected in Cuba in 2018–19 to explore young people’s sexual and reproductive health decisions. The analysis…

  • Protecting, Empowering, or Penalizing Motherhood? The Contradictory Treatment of Women in Chilean Social Policies

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon, Alejandra Ramm et al.•ARTICLE•Social Politics International…•2021•References: 13

    This article contributes to the discussion of gendered social policy in Latin America. Despite considerable attention to the Chilean case, few studies have provided a comparative analysis of how the articulation of gender through motherhood differs across social sectors. We contrast the case of the health sector with the examples of housing and labor market policies to demonstrate that the framing of motherhood in Chilean social policies is not u…

  • What does Covid-19 tell us about the Peruvian health system

    Camila Gianella, Jasmine Gideon et al.•ARTICLE•Canadian Journal of Development…•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 20

    Peru seemed well placed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic as a country that had achieved sustained economic growth and moved towards achieving universal health coverage. However, Peru has one of the highest rates of transmission and mortality worldwide. This article analyses what the pandemic has unveiled with regards to the health system, arguing that a focus on meeting global development targets, including by promoting public-private partners…

  • Journeys to Health: The Case of Chilean Exiles in the UK

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon•ARTICLE•Journal of Refugee Studies•2020•Cited by: 2•References: 14

    Taking the idea of refugee ‘journeys to health’ (Newbold and McKeary, 2018) as a point of departure this paper examines the case of Chilean exiles in the UK. Reflecting on interviews conducted with Chilean exiles the analysis highlights how the health-related challenges that many people have experienced change over time. For some the passing of time has enabled people to make sense of what happened to them following the military coup in Chile in …

  • Gendering activism, exile and wellbeing: Chilean exiles in the UK

    Jasmine Gideon•ARTICLE•Gender Place & Culture•2018•Cited by: 9•References: 24

    Drawing on the case of Chilean exiles in the UK this article looks at the experiences of exiles through a gender lens. The analysis argues for the need to recognise the gendered nature of spaces of political activism in order to highlight the contribution made by many Chilean women to life in exile. Using a gender lens sheds light on the multiple ways in which many women were indirectly the victims of abuse under the military regime and how this …

  • Public-private partnerships in sexual and reproductive healthcare provision: Establishing a gender analysis

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon, Benjamin M Hunter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of International and…•2017•References: 13

    The past few decades have seen the growing popularity of public-private partnerships (PPPs) across the health sector – a catch all term used to encompass diverse activities involving both public and private sector entities in areas of global and domestic health. In the article we consider the factors that have led to this proliferation of PPPs in the healthcare delivery field and consider the link to the process of ‘scientization’ of healthcare. …

    This article considers the implications of the changing funding landscape in global health for NGOs in the health sector, particularly where they have aspired to promote gender equality and justice through their health work. The article reflects on the tensions that arise as a result of the growing influence of business norms within health funding alongside what critics have termed the 'scientization' of global health, and it considers the gender…

  • What is hindering progress? The marginalization of women's sexual and reproductive health and rights in Brazil and Chile

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon, Marianna Leite et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of International and…•2015•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    The paper draws on the cases of Brazil and Chile to consider the lack of progress towards securing better health outcomes for women in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). At first glance, these poor outcomes for women appear surprising, given that both countries represent middle-income countries where significant developments have occurred towards ensuring universal access to healthcare services. Yet, a more nuanced ana…

    Open Access•Báltica Cabieses, Helena Tunstall et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2012

    There were significant associations between SES, and access to and use of healthcare among immigrants in Chile and a higher prevalence of no health care provision entitlement among poor and disabled immigrants compared to the Chilean-born. Changing associations between access and use of healthcare and SES among immigrants in Chile over time may reflect changes in their socio-demographic composition or in the survey methodology between 2006 and 20…

    Despite a growing body of research on gender and social policy, little attention has been given to work on the health sector. Drawing on the Chilean case, this paper examines the opportunities and constraints for producing positive gender outcomes in health policy. The paper argues that only limited progress has been made in integrating gender issues into the health sector despite several entry points introduced over the past decade. Part of the …

  • Introduction: Reclaiming Feminism: Gender and Neoliberalism

    Open Access•A Cornwall, Jasmine Gideon et al.•ARTICLE•IDS Bulletin•2009•Cited by: 9•References: 10

    Neoliberalism - that 'grab-bag of ideas based on the fundamentalist notion that markets are self-correcting, allocate resources efficiently and serve the public interest well' as Stiglitz (2008) puts it - has been a focal point for contestation in development. Feminists have highlighted its deleterious effects on women's lives and on gender relations. They have drawn attention to the extent to which the institutions promoting neoliberal economic …

  • Entitled to Health? Social Protection in Chile's Plan Auge

    Open Access•Charles Dannreuther, Jasmine Gideon•ARTICLE•Development and Change•2008•Cited by: 4•References: 41

    In theory everyone has the right to health. However, in reality many low income households are unable to fully access health services and therefore cannot fully claim their rights. Recently, in an attempt to overcome these limitations, health reforms in Chile under the Plan AUGE have proposed a series of legal entitlements to health care that are available to everyone regardless of income level. While this is an important starting point in ensuri…

  • A Gendered Analysis of Labour Market Informalization and Access to Health in Chile

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon•ARTICLE•Global Social Policy•2007•Cited by: 2•References: 15

    Health sector reforms across Latin America are replacing the concept of risk-sharing across the population with more individualized approaches to accessing health care, and health insurance schemes have been advocated by the World Bank as a means of helping poor people overcome the risk of ill health. Yet at the same time the lowering of labour standards and the growth of informal workers means that for an increased number of workers, contributin…

  • Excluded from Health? Informal Workers' Access to Health Care in Chile

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon•ARTICLE•Bulletin of Latin American Research•2007•Cited by: 1•References: 39

    The Pan American Health Organisation recently highlighted the increased exclusion of low income households in Latin America from health care. The rise in informal employment and sub-contracting of workers means that many employees lack formal contracts and are excluded from health insurance programmes. Feminist research suggests low income women are often most at risk of exclusion. Simultaneously, deeply entrenched inequalities within health syst…

  • The politics of social service provision through NGOs: A study of Latin America

    This article looks at the role of NGOs in social service delivery in Latin America and questions some of the assumptions which are often made about their abilities. Following the implementation of the neo‐liberal model, increased conditionality has been placed on economic assistance. This has created a new role for NGOs, whereby they are harnessed by states in order to secure effective implementation of reform packages. In the process many NGOs a…

Changing associations between access and use of healthcare and SES among immigrants in Chile over time may reflect changes in their socio-demographic composition or in the survey methodology between 2006 and 20…

    Despite a growing body of research on gender and social policy, little attention has been given to work on the health sector. Drawing on the Chilean case, this paper examines the opportunities and constraints for producing positive gender outcomes in health policy. The paper argues that only limited progress has been made in integrating gender issues into the health sector despite several entry points introduced over the past decade. Part of the …

  • What is hindering progress? The marginalization of women's sexual and reproductive health and rights in Brazil and Chile

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon, Marianna Leite et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of International and…•2015•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    The paper draws on the cases of Brazil and Chile to consider the lack of progress towards securing better health outcomes for women in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). At first glance, these poor outcomes for women appear surprising, given that both countries represent middle-income countries where significant developments have occurred towards ensuring universal access to healthcare services. Yet, a more nuanced ana…

  • Challenging Gendered Inequalities in Global Health: Dilemmas for NGOs

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon, Fenella Porter•ARTICLE•Development and Change•2016•Cited by: 5•References: 50

    This article considers the implications of the changing funding landscape in global health for NGOs in the health sector, particularly where they have aspired to promote gender equality and justice through their health work.

    Open Access•Jasmine Gideon, Benjamin M Hunter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of International and…•2017•References: 13

    The past few decades have seen the growing popularity of public-private partnerships (PPPs) across the health sector – a catch all term used to encompass diverse activities involving both public and private sector entities in areas of global and domestic health. In the article we consider the factors that have led to this proliferation of PPPs in the healthcare delivery field and consider the link to the process of ‘scientization’ of healthcare. …

  • Gendering activism, exile and wellbeing: Chilean exiles in the UK

    Jasmine Gideon•ARTICLE•Gender Place & Culture•2018•Cited by: 9•References: 24

    Drawing on the case of Chilean exiles in the UK this article looks at the experiences of exiles through a gender lens. The analysis argues for the need to recognise the gendered nature of spaces of political activism in order to highlight the contribution made by many Chilean women to life in exile. Using a gender lens sheds light on the multiple ways in which many women were indirectly the victims of abuse under the military regime and how this …

    Taking the idea of refugee ‘journeys to health’ (Newbold and McKeary, 2018) as a point of departure this paper examines the case of Chilean exiles in the UK. Reflecting on interviews conducted with Chilean exiles the analysis highlights how the health-related challenges that many people have experienced change over time. For some the passing of time has enabled people to make sense of what happened to them following the military coup in Chile in …
