In this paper, a key objective of the Women’s Health Strategy—gender-based analysis (GBA)—is interrogated to illustrate both the advancements and problems in Canada’s approach to women’s health. GBA is a key horizontal policy tool for working toward gender equality in research, policy, and practice. Its entrenchment in the Strategy also reflects the efforts by the women’s health movement in Canada to better integrate gender into policy analysis (for a historic overview see Morrow, forthcoming 2007).
