Challenging power
and privilege for
gender equity in health
We are the fast-growing women-led movement demanding gender equity in global health.
Our approach is collaborative, supportive and empowering. We believe that the voices of women – especially underrepresented women from the Global South – must be heard. WGH acts as a catalytic force: bringing together women and their allies as agents of change. We want to change the narrative about women health leaders and increase their visibility.
Partnering with Women in Global Health means investing in better global health
We started in 2015 when four early career women who initially met online encountered an overwhelming response on social media on a range of issues. Six years after launching as a not-for-profit that was entirely powered by volunteers, Women in Global Health now has 57 Chapters in 52 countries. With around 6,500 members and 100,000 supporters, we are nurses, midwives, doctors, public health professionals, health policymakers, community health workers, researchers, pharmacists and private sector health workers.
