Portrait and offer
The specialist unit advises healthcare professionals as well as the city administration and politicians on issues relating to women’s health and gender-sensitive medicine. The aim is to improve the health opportunities of women and to sensitize professionals to gender-specific aspects in medicine. The focus here is on socially and health-related disadvantaged people. The establishment of the Fachstelle Frau & Gesundheit was decided by the Munich City Council in 1997. In 2014, this was then expanded to include the field of gender-sensitive medicine.
The specialist unit identifies women-specific health issues and barriers to accessing services in the healthcare system. On this basis, it develops and promotes innovative measures to improve the structure of services. To this end, it works closely with numerous partners in Munich’s social and healthcare system and regularly organizes specialist events.

The city of Munich stands for an urban society without discrimination with equal opportunities for all. Equal rights are a constitutional principle, but the real implementation of this norm requires cooperation with civil society in addition to a state mandate. In Munich, there are a large number of organizations, institutions and projects that are involved in the task of implementing equal rights for women, men and people of other genders.
With this “Women’s Handbook Munich”, the Equal Opportunities Office for Women of the City of Munich offers an overview and information on where to turn with a specific concern. More information about the Equal Opportunities Office for Women can be found on our homepage.
