WHO is all set to publish its revised gender manual. The last gender manual was published in 2011. Revision of this gender manual now includes progressive elements upon the concepts of gender.
Gender Discrimination
Discrimination has become a part of our society, especially when it comes to any custom which is out of the existing societal norm. WHO takes a step further to revise an anti-discrimination training manual. This is for the medical managers to include new thinking based on sexual and gender diversity.
WHO’s take on Gender Manual
Awareness comes into being with the new revision of this diversified dictum. A manual regarding gender mainstreaming got published in 2011. This manual will again be disseminated regarding the advancement of gender diversity. The progressiveness in the concept of gender, health, and development was confirmed by WHO on Wednesday. The workshops used the training materials for health managers to help them reduce gender inequalities in medical services.
Revision regarding Gender Equality
The manual will include the revision which records the binary and non-binary gender approaches to recognize the diversity in both gender and sex. Gender identification continues in a loop with no such change. Sex should also not limit itself to just males and females. Intersectionality will chase the dynamics regarding the interaction of gender with other hierarchies either superior or inferior which would help to cater to the differences regarding inequality and different health outcomes for various people.
Manual of 2011
This gender role confirms a significant shift in the previous manual in 2011. The previous manual was about conducting workshops to improve the health of women and girls. This manual collected on involving men and women in decisions following health that would affect their lives. It promoted equality by addressing the convinces of the health outcomes which includes both men and boys, as well as women and girls.
The references to either men, women, boys, or girls were not mentioned in the announcement made by WHO on Wednesday. WHO is now significant in considering sensitivity checks upon things in recent times, such as the monkeypox virus which the disease researchers as something discriminative.
