"Negative effects from the use of medicines affect more frequently women (+1.5–1.7%), even though such figure is less reported in relevant studies. So far, gender prejudices have affected such area, on the idea that the origin of disease mainly stems from the hormonal variability. These prejudices delay the pharmaceutical research, the research devoted to detect the socio-environmental factors as well as the primary prevention, namely the eradication of the causes and the risk factors. Until a few years ago, women were scarcely recruited in clinical experimentation. In recent months, it has been registered a change of attitude, at least, as regards the number of women involved, although the gender analysis...more

“In Accra, Ghana, women typically work together to manage the environment of the house compound, and are considered primarily responsible for maintaining the spaces between compounds. They are usually responsible for the children, who move from place to place. In addition, even in-house environmental management depends heavily on public infrastructure, such as water pipes and connections. It is difficult to under-estimate this role, including its political dimensions: the negative connotations associated with residency in an informal settlement are (in part) rationalised through an emphasis on cleanliness” (pp. 22).
