Abstract
Gender inequalities manifest when one gender intentionally exercises or obtains some form of advantage through internalized social means, which are typically oppressive and disparate. In the field of health, gender inequalities provide a rationale for the observed disparities in women's health outcomes and the greater difficulties they face in achieving comprehensive development. The present study sought to undertake a descriptive analysis of strategies designed to combat gender inequalities and promote women's health in Continental Central America. This entailed a documentary analysis of official documents published by national and regional organizations with a specialization in gender equality and women's health. The analysis revealed that all countries have a national action plan to combat gender inequalities and promote fairer and more inclusive societies in all spheres of human life. From a regional perspective, the countries have had the Regional Gender Equality and Equity Policy of the Central American Integration Scheme since 2013. This is the principal instrument used to advance the well-being of women in the region. With respect to health promotion, documents such as a technical report and a regional policy have been identified, which delineate the pathways that Central American countries should pursue to achieve optimal well-being for their female populations.
