This interactive symposium explored why sex and gender matter more than ever to effective action on key women’s health issues, with a focus on mental health and substance use. International and Australian experts engaged participants in the use of sex- and gender-based analysis (SGBA+) tools and gender transformative frameworks.
This forum was held on 2 December 2019 at Rydges Exhibition Street in Melbourne. The event was presented by Women's Health Victoria, in partnership with VicHealth and Our Watch, with support from the Victorian Government.
A companion event - Delving Deeper Into Gender Transformative Practice - was held on 3 December 2019.
