We elevate the voices and visibility of those affected by gender inequity in health, bringing to the forefront those who have been heard least.
Our goal is to remedy the inequities of leadership, pay, and working conditions as well as the impacts of policy and program decisions on women. This local-to-global movement is not just for the benefit of the health workforce but serves as one of the most far-reaching and cost-effective interventions to improve health care generally.
We collaborate, communicate and mobilize to convince decision-makers to adopt gender transformative policies to revolutionize the systems, structures and norms that perpetuate gender inequality in health. This local-to-global movement is not just for the benefit of the health workforce but serves as one of the most far-reaching and cost-effective interventions to improve health systems generally.
