Imagine a health system designed by the women who run it.
What's the first thing that changes?
No wrong answers. We're taking notes.

#WomenInGlobalHealth #GenderEquality

These health stats should make you uncomfortable.

Women power global health—but are underpaid, overworked, underrepresented, and unsafe.

You can’t build strong health systems on inequality.

#WorldHealthWorkerWeek #WomenInGlobalHealth

Science saves lives.
Inclusion makes it stronger.

This #WorldHealthDay, we stand with science—and for women’s leadership in global health.
Together for health.

As part of International Women’s Month, WGH Argentina hosted a session at the Buenos Aires Legislature asking, "What does it mean today to be a woman in the health system?"

The event fostered dialogue on gender gaps and leadership and included formal recognition for women’s leadership in health.

At a CSW70 side event, Pio Smith of UNFPA highlighted key gaps: women lead the workforce but not decision-making, midwifery remains underfunded, and data gaps persist.

UHC requires gender-responsive systems that truly invest in women.

#CSW70 #GlobalHealth #GenderEquality #UHC

At a high-level event during CSW70, co-sponsored by UNFPA and the Governments of Canada and Kenya, Dr. Magda Robalo, in her opening remarks, emphasized: UHC cannot be achieved without gender equality—and gender equality requires sustained investment in women’s health.

The conversation continues.

Voices from our Lusophone chapters share what justice for women and girls should truly look like in their countries.

Because justice cannot stay on paper.

#InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #WomenInGlobalHealth #GenderEquity

Women around the world are promised rights, safety, and equality. But what should justice actually look like, and what happens when systems fail to deliver it?

For #IWD2026, Women in Global Health chapters share their voices.

On the International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM, we’re spotlighting women leading the fight to end FGM.

Join our webinar: The Power to Lead: Women Advancing the Elimination of FGM
📅 6 Feb 2026 | ⏰ 12:00–13:30 UTC | 📍 Zoom

This is the job many women in global health never applied for,yet are expected to do daily.

Care. Crisis response. Emotional labour.
Often without power or pay.

Equity means redesigning the system.

Now, over to you, what would a fair job description look like?

Leadership doesn’t always start with ambition. Sometimes, it starts with discomfort.

For Dr. Funmilola Adio, witnessing health inequities faced by women and girls became the catalyst to lead, advocating for #UHC and equitable health systems in Nigeria.

Education isn’t just about learning. It’s also about participation.
When young people are co-creators of the systems shaping their future, education drives lasting change.

#InternationalDayOfEducation #Education2030 #YouthLeadership

The idea that gender equity has been achieved is comforting, but false.

From pay gaps to leadership exclusion and healthcare access, women still face systemic barriers every day.

That’s why advocacy matters. Now more than ever.

These things have become normal in global health, but normal doesn’t mean acceptable.

In 2026, we’re calling time on systems that rely on inequity to function. Change isn’t optional. It’s overdue.
