Abstract
Despite the firm entrenchment of gender equality in the laws and values of our modern societies, undeniable disparities between genders continue to exist. It's important to note that health disparities between genders are not solely a result of biological differences but are also due to sociological dynamics and the French healthcare system. The leading cause of death among women is not cancer but cardiovascular disease. Cancer occupies the second position, with breast cancer being the primary cause of mortality. Despite a very large number of cases, too little is still known about endometriosis and it is diagnosed late, with an average delay of seven years in France. Menopause is a physiological state in women, but various health problems can gradually develop as a result, like the climacteric syndrome. By placing women's health at the heart of concerns, we can transform this unacceptable situation into a victory for gender equality and justice in health.
