Call for Commitments on Gender Equality
From the Global Health Community
A CALL FOR GLOBAL HEALTH
COMMITMENTS ON GENDER EQUALITY
At the 69th World Health Assembly, we called on every stakeholder within the global health and development fields to take a critical look at their own organizations and to make commitments to advance women in global health leadership and achieve great gender equity in global health leadership at all levels.
We are continuing this movement by requesting that you make 1 to 2 commitments either on behalf of yourself or your organization on how you will advance gender equality in the global health sector before the next World Health Assembly.
If you are looking for inspiration, the International Geneva Gender Champions have already developed a very strong set of commitments – and you can find the link at the bottom of the page. With your approval, we will also be sharing your commitments and photos.
