Description

Product Description With a global commitment to achieve gender equality by 2030, the SDGs present a historic opportunity to place gender as central to human progress across the globe. Gender equality, which requires the empowerment of all women and girls, is an explicit goal, in addition to being a fundamental prerequisite to and facilitator of most other SDGs. This edited collection provides a range of geographical and geospatial insights, from a variety of disciplinary and country-specific perspectives, to better understand gender and sustainable development. In addition to several African countries, Mexico, Japan, Canada, USA, and Cambodia are featured. A range of topical case studies examine women’s domestic and care work, including water collection, breastfeeding, food purchasing, and caring for elderly family members. Access to health care services is examined in the case of breast screening and antenatal care. Women’s engagement in the labour force is also addressed, with a specific look at the renewable energy sector; structural barriers to employment are discussed across a number of chapters, with clear strategies to break through these barriers. Finally, theoretical insights are proposed in better understanding and engaging in gendered inequalities in health. About the Author Allison Williams is Professor in the School of Earth, Environment & Society at McMaster University. She is trained as a health geographer in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research. She leads a partnership grant to create carer-inclusive workplaces. Isaac Luginaah is a Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Western Ontario and member of the College of The Royal Society of Canada. His research interests include environment and health, population health, and GIS applications in health.
