Misogyny is a public health problem, & I confidently say so because it is:

(thread)

• highly prevalent

• affects the majority of the female population (on international, national & local levels)

• negatively impacts quality of life of populations (often endangers it)

• abuse against women is a global burden that costs governments trillions of dollars per annum (treatment against abuse, etc)

• there is a hierarchy of risk by skin tone & ethnicity, age, education, income, religion, etc.

• socially-patterned

• there is strong & consistent evidence on the role of men in abuse against women globally

• There is a predictable global increase in the burdens of misogyny due to the growing population and more people shifting towards working/studying from home

• social gradient expected

Thus, misogyny is clearly a public health problem that requires urgent action (especially upstream level) and multi-sectoral, multi-strategy approaches to tackle this disease both globally & locally.
