@womeninGH vulnerability is key! And our journey with ourselves is often times most of the battle. Couldn’t have said it better!

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

Vulnerability is always a sign of strength - the journey to #genderequity is a long one, but we are never alone.

Our honesty to ourselves and those around us is our greatest power! #WithoutthisWoman #GH5050 #womeninGH #IWD2019

[Aisha Mitchell @MitchA320]

Inclusion is key and diversity is null and void without it. Faces don’t matter if voices are not heard. Quantity isn’t an accomplishment unless quality accompanies it. We have to be proactive, we have to be intentional, we have to ask questions, and ensure ALL have a voice!

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

#Inclusion means nominating women for committees / critical meetings, and provide learning opportunities. Leadership should also diversify messaging and outreach to serve more languages, regions, and lived experiences.
Intersectionality is key! #WithoutThisWoman #IWD2019 #GH5050

[Aisha Mitchell @MitchA320]

That we as #womeninGH are never truly alone. Never forget that we are in this together and the only way sustainable change can happen, is that we lean on and uplift one another as individuals and as community! Don’t give up, we need you! #BalanceforBetter

[Global Health Corps @ghcorps]

Q7: Fighting for #genderequity both in the world and at work can be a long, lonely journey at times. What do you wish (other) #womeninGH knew? #WithoutThisWoman #BalanceforBetter #GH5050 #IWD2019

[Aisha Mitchell @MitchA320]

We have to first, have more people in power that look like us: For Us, By Us! And we have to tear down the silos that prohibit collaboration bewteeen women across sectors, race, schools of thought, and preferences. It takes all of us!

[Global Health Corps @ghcorps]

Q4: In the workplace specifically, #womeninGH face many of the same challenges that other women do: #sexualharassment, the #genderpaygap, & unsupportive parental leave policies. How do we begin to tackle these structural challenges? #WithoutThisWoman #GH5050AtWork #IWD2019

[Aisha Mitchell @MitchA320]

Oh where do I begin? There aren’t enough men who are getting up from the table so women can have a seat, and not enough women who are empowered to make decisions for their own bodies and their own communities. #BalanceforBetter

[Global Health Corps @ghcorps]

Q3: What are some of the obstacles that hold #womeninGH back from climbing the #leadership ladder? #WithoutThisWoman #BalanceforBetter #GH5050 #IWD2019

[Global Health Corps @ghcorps]

Closing the gender gap in #globalhealth #leadership will accelerate progress in the sector. Join us + @womeninGH @GlobalHlth5050 @abtassociates @TheLancet + more for a #WithoutThisWoman Twitter Chat on #IWD2019 to celebrate progress in reaching #GH5050 + chart a way forward!
