Abstract

Due to globalization, gender, class, and health issues are emerging that require the attention of feminist bioethicists globally. In this paper, I argue that although the basic questions that Western feminist bioethicists address, as well as their work in general, are relevant to health care issues in developing countries like Kenya, they must heighten their focus on unjust global policies that adversely impacted on health care provision in Kenya and led to further oppression of women (women who are already oppressed by the structures of the society), especially in terms of health care.
