In Ethiopia, gender equality is an important aspect of all development sectors. All sectors require the integration of gender—from infrastructure to agriculture, and from health to water. Gender plays a prominent role in determining health and disease patterns, and the response of the health system to these differentials is important. Voicing gender issues should not be limited to women; men have a responsibility and an interest in addressing gender issues: Gender oppression not only affects women and girls but also men and boys since it undermines the well-being of the whole family, the household, the community, and the nation at large. Gender does not have to be abstract or difficult to understand. Gender is concrete and visible in the realities men and women face in their daily lives. Gender is not just “women’s business,” or “YesotochGoudaye,” which is the literal translation of gender in Amharic. Gender is not just women’s business—it is everyone’s business.
