Abstract

This scoping review aims to explore the gender-specific disparities and highlight the unique disadvantages faced by women in the context of Tuberculosis (TB). By mapping the existing literature on women's experiences with TB, this review seeks to uncover the underlying factors contributing to these disparities and identify gaps in the current understanding. The goal is to inform future research and policymaking, ultimately improving TB prevention, treatment, and outcomes for women worldwide. Recognizing and addressing the specific needs and challenges of women is essential for achieving equitable and effective TB control.
