Health
Even in industrialized nations, gender discrimination in healthcare is responsible for the deaths of many women, so the progress of women’s health was an important topic that was discussed at the UN FWCW. It was found that while women’s health in some areas had improved, in other areas it had worsened. Women’s health had improved in the fact that, life expectancy for women had increased over the last few years, while fertility and infant mortality rates had decreased. However, there was little improvement in reducing the maternal mortality rate and unfortunately, women accounted for 40 percent of HIV-infected adults. [2]
