How We Work

Strengthening connections within the field of global health in Norway by:

• connecting to a global movement that brings together all genders and backgrounds to achieve gender equality in global health leadership;
• creating a focal point for opportunities for women in global health in Norway;
• supporting selected sister-networks to build capacities for equal opportunities and women in leadership worldwide.

The Aim The overarching aims of WGH Norway include supporting women in global health and mitigating barriers that deter women from leadership roles in global health, nationally and globally. Four objectives operationalize these aims: Connect and network Mobilize and advocate for change Contribute to capacity development Contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
