Improving gender equity in Hong Kong's reproductive health services

Promoting gender equality requires that we understand gender as a social construct cutting across the multifaceted political, economic and societal spheres. This volume demonstrates the importance of gender mainstreaming in examining social issues and making decisions that affect women and men. In so doing, the chapters of the book enrich our understanding of the social structures and trends within contemporary Hong Kong society and at the same time restate the need for gender-sensitive perspectives in policy-making.
