Women in Global Health Seattle (WGH Seattle) is a movement of professional women and their allies working in global health in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

WGH Seattle is advancing gender equity in global health leadership by creating space for building personal and professional networks, challenging the status quo, and inspiring professionals in the Pacific Northwest to create pathways and support for women, trans, and/or gender non-conforming people in global health to achieve their full potential.

WGH Seattle is an inclusive group that recognizes systemic discrimination against Black, Indigenous, people of color, women, and LGBTQIA+ people impacting their career pathways and advancement, as well as many other aspects of their lives. We understand that people at the intersections of those identities face compounded biases and we take an expansive view of gender and strive to center Black, Indigenous, and women of color.
