Women in Global Health (WGH) is an organization built on a global movement that brings together all genders and backgrounds to achieve gender equality in global health leadership. WGH creates a platform for discussions and collaborative space for leadership, facilitates specific education and training, garners support and commitment from the global community, and demands change for Gender Transformative Leadership. Most recently, WGH was a partner for the second annual Women Leaders in Global Health conference, hosted in November 2018 at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
