Women and Global Health Leadership

Women represent the majority of people working to improve health outcomes in communities, non-governmental and multilateral organizations, both as paid and unpaid health and social care workers.

So why is it that when it comes to leadership positions, we have a governance system that privileges men and what can we do to redress the imbalance? This ground-breaking collection explores the leadership roles that women hold in global health, teasing out the routes women have taken to leadership, the challenges they have faced, and what has facilitated their journey. It brings to the fore the stories of women on the frontlines of this struggle from around the world, highlighting and complementing these stories with theoretical and analytical explorations of the structures and systems that help or hinder the process. Among the topics explored:

• Gendered Institutions in Global Health
• Gender, Peace, and Health: Promoting Human Security with Women’s Leadership
• Academic Journal Publishing: A Pathway to Global Health Leadership
• Women in Health Systems Leadership:Demystifying the Labyrinth
• Women’s Leadership in Global Health: Evolu
