Gender perspective is seen in the light of the gender
differences, noting inequalities that affect women health
that are the product of the situation of their subordination
in the society. Aspects such as social inequalities,
poverty, gender inequalities, gender-based violence and
globalization affect the women’s health conditions that
are strongly linked to structural and cultural factors. This
article presents an overview and emphasizes the Colombian
case. As an alternative and in face to the need to
minimize the discomfort and suffering which affect the
health of women, the Differential Female Morbidity
approach is proposed.
