About the workshop

This full-day workshop explores how gender and gender inequality impact women’s health and their relationship to food. The workshop navigates the complexities of health messaging, body image, and the expectations of women’s role with food and nutrition. The workshop also explores the controversy that exists in public health and health promotion regarding the approach taken and key messages that should be adopted in relation to food-related behaviours and body size to promote ‘health’ and prevent illness for women. 

Did you know?

Being female is the strongest risk factor for the development of an eating disorder, and eating disorders are the third most common chronic illness among young women.
