If you look down the second-last page of my brief, the federation's parent organization, Medical Women's International Association, has produced a gender mainstreaming manual. I think gender analysis doesn't favour one gender over another; it favours the equality of gender. So we're asking for a gender lens to be applied to all health care.
I'm a practising psychiatrist. I'm the director of youth in-patient psychiatry for eastern Ontario, and I can tell you that young men have had some difficulty in schools recently and I can tell you that schizophrenia is an illness that afflicts young men more than it does young women.
In psychiatry, my speciality, you often find that the description of illnesses are those that present in women, simply because, in a traditional sense, men are not felt to have, for example, mental illness. It's an old view, but it is something that has happened. So our gender lens, we believe, would assist in ensuring that a disease is considered in terms of not only how it appears in one gender, but how it appears in both.
