Ethics and Gender Specificities in Diseases Transmitted by Mosquitoes
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Emerging diseases, caused by mosquitoes, affect people asymmetrically, therefore it is pertinent to study this problem with a gender approach, as it is important not only to carry out an epidemiological follow-up of these diseases, but it is also essential to analyze the economic, psychological, cultural and social factors associated with gender in the affectation that they cause or that make women and girls more vulnerable before them. For this reason, gender emerges as an explanatory element of the roles that men and women play in the different spheres: domestic, community, and social, which shape the risks of exposure to these vectors and open prospects for success in prevention, control, and management of these diseases. In this sense, ethics becomes an essential analytical and practical tool to determine that the real inequality between genders and the mechanisms of social discrimination that feed it place women in conditions of vulnerability regarding these diseases; which above all it is a question of justice and equity; therefore ethical.
