- More about Women and Global Health Leadership: Power and Transformation
Women represent the majority of people working to improve health outcomes in communities, non-governmental and multilateral organizations, but they are underrepresented in leadership positions. This book explores the leadership roles that women hold in global health, the challenges they have faced, and the structures and systems that help or hinder their journey. It is a rallying call to arms to redress gender inequality and celebrate the many ways in which women are taking the lead in supporting the health of their communities internationally.

Women play a pivotal role in improving health outcomes in communities, non-governmental and multilateral organizations, both as paid and unpaid health and social care workers. However, when it comes to leadership positions, a governance system that privileges men persists. This groundbreaking collection delves into the leadership roles that women hold in global health, exploring the pathways they have taken to leadership, the challenges they have faced, and the factors that have facilitated their journey. The book brings to the forefront 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 either help or hinder the process. Among the topics explored:
Gendered Institutions in Global Health: Examining how gender norms and stereotypes shape the healthcare system and hinder women's leadership.
Gender, Peace, and Health: Discussing how women's leadership can promote human security and contribute to peacebuilding.
Academic Journal Publishing: Analyzing the challenges and opportunities for women in academic publishing, which is a crucial pathway to global health leadership.
Women in Health Systems Leadership: Unveiling the complexities and challenges of women's leadership in health systems, including policy-making, management, and advocacy.
Womens Leadership in Global Health: Examining the evolution of women's leadership in global health and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
The book serves as a rallying call to arms to redress gender inequality and celebrate the many ways in which women are taking the lead in supporting the health of their communities internationally. It is a must-read for those working in or studying global health, as well as a primer that aims to support other women in their efforts and struggles to succeed in a highly unfair and unequal world. The book will engage ministers of health, policy-makers, practitioners, academics, students, researchers, healthcare workers, health service managers, and members of multilateral organizations.
