5.3 Women in Global Health | A conversation on equity, and economic empowerment with Ann Keeling

The Global Health Collective - With a Local Edge

In today's episode hosted by Shania Bhopa and Danielle Denwood, they engage in a dynamic conversation with Ann Keeling from the Women in Global Health.

The discussion focuses on gender equity and women's economic empowerment. Thinking about the lack of research and absence of data about unpaid women working in health systems across the globe.

It is critical that we begin thinking about and actively engaging in discussions for early career researchers, students, and global health professionals to promote women's economic empowerment.
