- 1. Does Combining Health Promotion and Feminist Frameworks Equal Better Health Outcomes for Women?
- 2. About WHIN • Regional women’s health service for NMR and one of 11 specialist services in Victoria. • Underpinned by the ‘dual strategy’: National Women’s Health Policy (1989). • Catchment: Banyule, Darebin, Hume, Moreland, Nillumbik, Whittlesea and Yarra. • Over 18 years’ experience in providing services (established in 1992).
- 6. The reality of women’s experience • Women do not form the majority of any senior job position in any industry in Australia. • The overall pay-gap between full-time male and female workers, based on average weekly earnings has risen to 17 per cent. • Women make up 27 per cent of lower house MPs and 35 per cent in the Senate. (Fenella Souter May, 2010)

- 9. Feminism is still relevant • A feminist perspective is critical to understanding the position of women. • The skills feminists have used to ‘read’, critique and question the position of women remain essential. • Feminists prompt us to go directly to the ‘root- cause’ of women’s disadvantage.
- 10. What is a ‘gendered’ perspective? • Uses the term ‘gender’ instead of ‘women’. • Practiced in the health sector: within government, mainstream agencies and community health. • Considers both men and women and assumes equality. • Focuses primarily on sex-disaggregated data – without analysis.
- 11. A feminist approach is critical to ensuring that women’s health and wellbeing needs are met. _______________________ As women’s health services, we need to develop a clear position around the use of gendered language and gendered or feminist approaches.
- 12. • Health Promotion & Feminism go beyond the physical body to consider the broader determinants of health. • Health Promotion & Feminism approaches address structural influences on health. • Health Promotion & Feminist practitioners aim to enable people to increase control over & improve their health. • Health Promotion & Feminism are underpinned by a commitment to record, respond and work with community and grassroots voices.
- 13. It is essential for women’s health services to adopt, retain and strengthen a feminist approach to health promotion practice.

Editor's Notes
- This is the third slide. It is a summary of the National Women’s Health Policy, the Victorian Women’s Health Program and WHIN’s catchment. Use text as it is with the accompanying notes below. National Women’s Health Policy: The National Women’s Health Policy (1989) recognises that women’s health means more than just sexual and reproductive health. It also means how women are treated by the health service system and how services are provided to women (e.g. whether they are appropriate or not). The Policy proposes that women’s health is best addressed through a ‘dual strategy’. The dual strategy involves reorienting services so they are more responsive to women’s needs and supporting women more directly through the provision of information, education and resources. In other words, ‘dual’ means working with both the service system and women together. Commonwealth and State agreements ensured the delivery of the Victorian women’s health program under the National Policy, of which WHIN is a part (with the other WHS). WHIN is mandated to deliver on the ‘dual strategy’ of the National Policy.
