Having a healthy life directly influences people's well-being, personal balance and quality of life. Achieving this depends in most part on the choices we make in our day-to-day lives and the lifestyle and daily habits we have.

According to the WHO, “health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not just the absence of disease.“

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), integrating gender perspectives into public health means taking into account the different needs of women and men at all stages of policy and program development. The fundamental goal is to achieve gender equality.

The incorporation of a gender perspective in the University implies recognizing the influence of social, cultural and biological factors in the design, planning and evaluation of healthy actions aimed at the entire university community. Identifying the differences between men and women is critical to formulating and addressing more effective health promotion and prevention strategies.

A Healthy and Sustainable Campus and the Equality Unit come together to organize common events for the university community with the goal of ensuring good health from a gender perspective.
