*PHM Health for All campaign at PHA4!*

During PHA4 parallel discussions on different thematic axes of PHM’s Health
for All campaign will take place to develop strategies to align and
co-ordinate activities and struggles across continents. One of the themes
is GENDER JUSTICE:

In advance of and beyond PHA4, PHM wants to reanimate its campaign work
around “Gender Justice and Health”.

Some country circles and the global secretariat had initiated this campaign
and have been trying to strengthen and expand it since 2012. However, this
work has been uneven and not sustained.  The Assembly in November offers us
an opportunity to reinvigorate the campaign. Those of you who are going to
be in Bangladesh for the Assembly as well as those who are not, but would
be interested in being part of the campaign, we  invite your ideas, inputs
and support  in taking forward this conversation, and campaign:

   - Towards bringing together women’s groups and movements at the PHA4 and
    building alliances with PHM country circles and networks work going
   forward. Can you suggest feminist organisations or gender activists in your
   country or region that work on health issues and who we should invite to
   this Assembly?


   - Feminist reading and training resources for PHM activists to reinforce
   that  patriarchal social relations are central to their practical and
   intellectual work.. Do you have training materials, case studies or
   organisational experiences you can share with us that we can use to
   cultivate a practice of making gender justice central to the work of PHM
   activists?


   - Build a two hour programme at PHA4 that acknowledges the complexities
   of collaborations but is able to ensure that health struggles display a
   commitment to gender justice. Would you be willing to assist in drafting a
   workshop programme for a two-hour session at PHA4, which helps us
   strengthen the campaign on Gender Justice and Health within PHM?

We look forward to hearing from you at sarojini [at] phmovement.org  and to
working together to contribute to shaping this conversation within the PHM
towards truly advancing health for all.

Let us know if you need any further information about anything. We are
happy to add/discuss and we are looking forward to hearing from you.
