dc.description.abstract | The world is becoming increasingly urbanised. Over one third of urban dwellers
now reside in low-income urban settlements, where living conditions are often
inadequate and there exist multiple barriers to access to health services for
women and girls. Based on six case studies and a thematic review examining
women’s and girls’ access to health in low-income urban settlements, IDS
researchers and partners call for decision-makers to take a broader approach to
address the social, structural and economic determinants of health, and to ensure
community involvement in interventions with genuine gender inclusivity. | en |
