TAILIEUCHUNG - TRANSFORMING HEALTH SYSTEMS FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Women in prison often have more health problems than male prisoners. As indicated before, many have chronic and complex health conditions resulting from lives of poverty, drug use, family violence, sexual assault, adolescent pregnancy, malnutrition and poor health care (Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, 2006; WHO Regional Office for Europe, 2007a). Drug-dependent women offenders have a higher prevalence than male offenders of tuberculosis, hepatitis, toxaemia, anaemia, hypertension, diabetes and obesity (Covington, 2007). Mental illness is overrepresented among women in prison, as 80% have an identifiable mental disorder. Two thirds have post-traumatic stress disorder (Zlotnick, 1997) and two thirds a substance-related. | Child Health and Maternal Health o Who s got the power Transforming health systems for women and children 2 5 to o fit ã o Ẹ Ể 3 a s ụạ a Achieving the Millennium Development Goals The UN Millennium Project is an independent advisory body commissioned by the UN Secretary-General to propose the best strategies for meeting the Millennium Development Goals MDGs .
