Welcome to the Journal of Gender Justice, Sexuality, and Health

The Journal of Gender Justice, Sexuality, and Health is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that aims to advance research, discourse, and advocacy at the intersection of gender, sexuality, and health. Our mission is to provide an interdisciplinary platform for scholarly contributions that critically examine the complex social, cultural, political, and economic forces shaping gender and sexual health outcomes globally.

In our efforts to foster social justice, inclusivity, and equity, the journal aims to bridge gaps across disciplines such as public health, gender studies, sociology, law, medicine, and policy. As a result, it serves as a vital resource for academics, activists, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and organizations dedicated to improving gender and sexual health through research, advocacy, and policy-making.

We welcome contributions that challenge conventional assumptions, advocate for marginalized communities, and provide evidence-based research that informs policy decisions and promotes social transformation.
