ABOUT WOMEN IN GLOBAL HEALTH
Women in Global Health (WGH) is a US 501(c)(3) founded in 2015 to achieve gender equality in global health leadership. Today, WGH is a global movement with the largest network of women and allies, more than 25,000 supporters across more than 90 countries and continues to grow, with a strong presence in low- and middle-income countries. Dr. Roopa Dhatt, the Executive Director, and the global team work with a network of WGH chapters in every region to challenge power and privilege for gender equity in health by mobilizing a diverse group of emerging women health leaders, by advocating to existing global health leaders to commit to transform their own institutions, and by holding these leaders to account.
* WGH chapters have been established in Australasia, Canada, Chile, Finland, Germany, India, Ireland, Norway, Pakistan, Portugal, Somalia, Sweden and USA, with Cameroon, China, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, UK and Zambia under development. WGH also has regional affiliates in East and West Africa.
