RFI: Gender and Disease in complex emergencies
----------------------------------------------
Hi all,
I am working on a Gender Mainstreaming Handbook in complex emer-
gencies and disasters and would like some information for input
into the health chapter.
I would appreciate information on sex-specific disposition to
diseases, for instance, malaria mainly affects pregnant women,
women are also at higher risk to STDs and so on.
Your help will be appreciated.
