This is the first paper of a series of three that focus on key topical areas in gender health and development. Using the health sector as a case study this progress report will synthesize discourse action and progress to date on gender mainstreaming within sector wide approaches. Subsequent reports will consider gender equity and access to HIV and AIDS health services and research approaches in gender health and development. Building a health system that is responsive to both womens and mens gendered needs is a critical part of addressing gender inequities in health. Gender mainstreaming is the recent strategy deployed by many gender advocates and activists in different institutional contexts to try to develop more equitable health systems that meet the needs and priorities of women men boys and girls in different contexts. The Beijing Platform for Action adopted in 1995 brought the term gender mainstreaming into common usage. It symbolized a move away from looking at women as a separate target group or vulnerable group to a more far-reaching goal of gender equity. (excerpt)
