This chapter traces the development of health policies for women in Brazil from the early 1980s to the mid-2010s and examines the central role that feminist health activists have played in calling for gender health equity. This chapter argues that, while reproductive health and abortion have been central organizing issues for Brazilian feminists, they have faced major political, cultural, and religious challenges in their efforts to advance a women’s health agenda. Special attention is given to women’s health policies that were developed during the democratic transition in the mid-1980s and during the two terms of President Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016), Brazil’s first female president.

Representation Of Women

As the founders of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine’s Women’s Health Member Interest Group, we welcome this issue focused on the important issues facing women, their providers, and researchers in this field. Women’s health extends beyond sex-specific reproductive health issues, by also encompassing the medical conditions that are more prevalent in women as well as conditions that are expressed differently in women. Inadequate representation of women in clinical research has contributed to poorer outcomes. As lifestyle medicine forms the foundation of true health, the time is now to recognize and address these issues with research, education, and advocacy.
