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: Evolution Will Not Bring Equality The book 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 and Global
Health Leadership is a must-read for those working in or studying
global health. It is also 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, academicians, students, researchers,
healthcare workers, health service managers, and members of
multilateral organizations. By highlighting key barriers and
facilitators to women in global health leadership, organizations
can use this book to help inform the development of institutional
policies and procedures to support women in leadership positions
across academic, health workforce, and global health governance
systems. It also can be used within postgraduate courses focusing
on the global heath workforce, leadership and management, and
women's studies.
