In November 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the Gender Equity Hub (GEH), co-chaired by WHO and Women in Global Health under the umbrella of the Global Health Workforce Network. The GEH brings together key stakeholders to strengthen gender-transformative policy guidance and implementation capacity for overcoming gender biases and inequalities in the global health and social workforce, in support of the implementation of the Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030, and the Working for Health five-year action plan (2017–2021) of WHO, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In 2018, the GEH identified and reviewed over 170 studies in a literature review of gender and equity in the global health workforce, with a focus on four themes: occupational segregation; decent work free from bias, discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment; gender pay gap; and gender parity in leadership. This report will inform the next phase of the work of the Global Health Workforce Network GEH, which seeks to use these research findings to advocate gender-transformative policy and action.
