Where are we with Gender Equality in Research, Medicine, and Global Health, and why does it Matter?

Anjohn Collins

This Review’s objective is to present evidence on why gender equality in research, medicine, and global health is important for results relating to health and general wellbeing. We provide a high-level summary of global gender data, analyse the progress made toward gender equality in research, medicine, and global health, examine the data demonstrating the importance of gender equality in these professions for social and health outcomes, and consider change-promoting tactics. The overall pattern of gender equality for women in science, medicine, and global health is one of mixed advances and persisting obstacles, despite the changing picture of global gender data. There is the potential for significant improvements in health, society, and the economy as a result of gender equality in science, medicine, and global health. Positioned amid a changing environment. Our Review emphasises missing and upcoming possibilities as well as the necessity of utilising current social movements to progress the discipline, all while being positioned within an expanding environment of gender activism and evidence.
