Gender disparities in health
Health is the general condition of a person's mind and body, usually indicating the state of being free from illness, injury or pain. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined health as ""a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."" Identified by the 2012 World Development Report as one of two key human capital endowments, health can influence an individual’s ability to reach his or her full potential in society. Yet while gender equality has made the most progress in areas such as education and labor force participation, health inequality between men and women continues to plague many societies today. While both males and females face health disparities, girls and women experience a majority of health disparities. This comes from the fact that many cultural ideologies and practices have structured society in a way whereby women are more vulnerable to abuse and mistreatment, making them more prone to illnesses and early death. Women are also restricted from receiving many opportunities, such as education and paid labor, that can help improve their accessibility to better health care resources.
