Our approach

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.

Partner with us

Partnering with WGH means joining a global movement advancing women’s leadership, equity, and rights in global health.

Women in Global Health was established in 2015 as a women-led initiative responding to widespread concerns shared by women working across the health system. What started as a small online network has evolved into a global movement, now comprising 65 chapters across 60 countries, with over 6,000 women members and over 100,000 supporters worldwide.

We are women-led and chapter-driven, meaning leadership and decision-making sit with women in their own contexts, not only at a global headquarters. Our members include nurses, midwives, doctors, public health professionals, policymakers, community health workers, midwives, researchers, and private-sector leaders, bringing diverse, real-world expertise into every partnership.
