Why gender matters to SDE?Selected reasons
Why gender matters to SDE?Selected reasons
• Alcohol– Relationship between alcohol and violence:
• Men who drink may become more violent and inflict greater harm
• Women victims of violence may turn to alcohol to self-medicate
• Violence– Violence affects men and women differently:
• Men are more likely to be victims of violence by strangers• Women are more likely to be victims of violence by a
partner or someone known to them• Road safety
– Road traffic injuries are leading cause of death among adolescent girls in high and middle income countries
– Of the deaths caused by traffic accidents in the Americas, almost 80% occur among men
• Tobacco– Adolescent and young women are specific targets of tobacco
companies– Women seem to have greater difficulty in quitting

Future SDE efforts to continue strengthening focus on genderFuture SDE efforts to continue strengthening focus on gender

• New structure (to start in early 2010) teams will have to have gender based projects
• Team coordination is strengthened and gender focus is strongly encouraged
• Advisor on IFV to widen SDE gender perspective
• Further strengthen work with GHE
