Membership

Women in Global Health Georgia is a membership organization. Membership is open to all women working in global and public health in the southeast region of the United States.

Members are asked to commit to the principles of Gender Transformative Leadership, to Doing things Differently and to challenging power and privilege for gender equity in health.

Together, we strive:

• To know and let everyone know that gender equality in global health is everyone’s business.
• To not compromise on gender equity and consistently and constantly challenge all gender gaps, whether data, leadership, pay or inclusion.
• To understand that leadership takes many forms and advocate for an intersectional leadership model that recognizes the ways in which axes of identity are tied to power and encompasses all genders, sexualities, ages, ethnicities, abilities, colors, geographies, religions, income and all marginalized groups and identities.
• To engage with leaders at each level and from all regions.
• To challenge the narrative and position women in global health as change agents and drivers of health and not just victims or consumers.
• To be brave and bold, and initiate and engage in courageous conversations around gendered power dynamics we see today.
• To apply local and indigenous solutions to advance the progress towards gender equality.
• To take everyone along, and set wheels in motion for collective action and accelerated partnerships for gender equality in global health.
• To stand in global solidarity with all women and prioritize making space for the least represented among us to be heard.
• Together, to support each other across all boundaries and be a force for positive and lasting change.
