Program Areas
The vision of this thematic circle is to create accountable and equitable health policies and health systems in the context of intersectional justice, and to enhance access to quality public healthcare, including sexual and reproductive healthcare that is premised on intersectional justice.
The short-term goals focus on integrating a gender and intersectional justice lens into PHM’s broader work, and capacity building among activists. The short-term goals of the thematic group are-
- Greater diversity and momentum of the Gender Justice and Health Circle for cross movement conversations and movement building.
- Enhanced communication, sustained participation in the circle initiatives to build synergy on advocacy and solidarity efforts.
- Consolidation and regular capacity building and advocacy action initiatives to strengthen perspectives especially of young activists, researchers, advocates, etc.
PHM has worked on environment and ecosystem health for a number of years. Activism on extractivism has the most momentum, and is especially strong in the Latin and North American regions, though activists in other regions are also involved in extractivism issues and the thematic area generally. PHM has recognized and is increasingly addressing the climate crisis, and expects that work to strengthen in the immediate and foreseeable future.
The vision of the thematic area is recovery of the natural environment and ecosystem and its contribution to health.
The short-term goals relate to inclusion of more activists in the space and a more unified voice on the issues within PHM. Short-term goals for Environment and Ecosystem Health-
- Increased grassroots voice and activism within PHM to include more voices that expand vision beyond a European / WHO focus.
- Greater voice and activism among the younger generations, women, and indigenous peoples within PHM.
- Increased cohesion and ability to relate in a collective way within the thematic circle and among countries
In this video, our coordinators explain the thematic group’s approach to the issue of Environment and Health.
