-> women, youth, elderly, migrants and those with disability are often poor because of discimination
-> women are more likely than men to live in poverty than men because...
-> women lack opportunities to participate in making decisions that affect their lives
39
link between SDG3 and SDG1
- governments of poor countries do not invest resources to provide public HW services such as health promotion programs which affect an individual's aility to enjoy good HW
- target of providing universal health coverage as part of SDG3 helps to end poverty by ensuring all people have access to essential medicines, vaccines and healthcare services at affordable prices
- collaborative approaches are needed to end poverty to achieve good HW
-> strategies put i place to reduce risks from natural disasters and outbreaks of disease
-> minimise impact of events and ensure people do not experience poverty from events
-> social protection measures
40
SDG2

42
impact of hunger on HW and HD
- hunger weakens immune system and children are too weak to fight off disease
- children suffering from hunger have increased frequency and severity of diseases such as pneumonia, measles
- iron deficiencies during pregnancy can lead to maternal death and impair children's physical and cognitive development -> lead to discriminaiton and stigma, impeding on ability to develop long lasting relationships
- vitamin a deficiency can lead to blindness, poor immune function, reduced cell function needed for normal grouwth
- can lead to poverty as it reduces ability to work and learn
- without food people are unable to achieve a decent standard of living
- hunger disables people from living long and healthy loves
43
links between SDG3 and SDG2
- improved access to nutritious foods
-> contributes to reductions in u5 and maternal mortality rates
-> means children are at reduced risk of contracting and dying from communicable diseases
achieving good HW contributes to zero hunger
-> as adults who enjoy good HW are able to work and produce their own food for family or earn an income
-> earning an income means families can purchase healthy food to eat, helping to reduce levels of hunger
44
SDG4
QUALITY EDUCATION

- education for girls helps to ensure equity in opportunity and increases ability to make choices and live lifeaccording to needs and interests
46
links between SDG4 and SDG3
