The state of gender equality in global health: A deep dive into the 6th Global Health 50/50 report

Contain This: The Latest in Global Health Security

Launched earlier this year, the sixth Global Health 50/50 report focussed for the first time on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in the workplace ranging from menstruation, abortion and menopause, to antenatal care and caring responsibilities.

Our guests on this episode are the founders of Global Health 50/50, Professor Sarah Hawkes and Professor Kent Buse.
In this episode, we discuss the latest Global Health 50/50 report, its findings, and where Sarah and Kent have seen a shift over the past six years in commitments to equality and the gender responsiveness of global health programmes.
Global Health 50/50 is an independent, evidence-driven initiative to advance action and accountability for gender equality in global health. You can visit their website here: https://globalhealth5050.org/.
Professor Sarah Hawkes is Director of the Centre for Gender and Global Health and Professor of Global Public Health at University College London and Professor Kent Buse is currently Director of the newly established global Healthier Societies Research Program at the George Institute for Global Health, with an appointment at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of New South Wales.
