This article examines the main places and characteristics of mathematics education for girls and young women in primary and secondary schools during the 19th and early 20th century. It looks at, in particular, the mathematical content that pupils learned in these schools and the aims of the teaching they received. It shows how female mathematics teaching differed from its male counterpart by responding to various gender stereotypes referring to the ‘nature’ and social role of women. The article also presents to what extent the girls’ mathematics programs were progressively aligned with those of boys, until they became almost identical from the 1920s onwards.

This chapter aligns well with the SDGs—primarily SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well‑Being), while also supporting SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). By using NFHS‑5 data on women 15–49, the study directly addresses indicator 2.2.2 (anemia prevalence) and provides NCD risk‑factor evidence relevant to SDG 3.4. The clear geographic and socioeconomic disparities you report underline the need for context‑specific, equity‑focused interventions and state‑level monitoring. To strengthen SDG relevance, map each outcome to specific SDG targets/indicators, use survey‑adjusted estimates, and propose measurable, region‑tailored actions for tracking progress.

The chapter aligns well with multiple SDGs, especially SDG 3 (Good Health and Well‑being), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), by centering structural drivers of health disparities across education, housing, and healthcare. Its focus on special populations and intersectional conceptual frameworks also supports SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) through attention to social determinants. To strengthen alignment, the chapter could explicitly map findings to specific SDG targets and indicators (e.g., UHC, discrimination reduction, disaggregated data). Including measurable recommendations and monitoring strategies would make the contribution more actionable for SDG implementation.

This scoping review examines diet-related health inequalities in high-income countries through the lens of the PROGRESS-Plus framework. It highlights the need for standardized methodologies and intersectional approaches to monitor and address persistent diet-related health inequalities in high-income countries

Despite global progress, maternal mortality remains high, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting the urgent need for strong leadership, increased investment in well-trained midwives, and equitable, culturally sensitive maternity care to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal of reducing maternal deaths to less than 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030.
