Gender transformative health promotion aims to redefine harmful gender norms, challenge gender stereotypes and develop more equitable gender roles and relationships.

Health promotion is not only about promoting healthy living, but also about promoting healthy communities, healthy public policy, and well-being.

Gender transformation is possible in every context from international development and health advocacy to health care reform and decolonization practices.
