Delivered by Women, Led by Men: A Gender and Equity Analysis of the Global Health Workforce - CSW63 Side Event
20 Mar 2019 - A new report, ‘ Delivered by Women, Led by Men : A Gender and Equity Analysis of the
Global Health Workforce’ will be launched at CSW63. The report co-produced by WHO
and Women in Global Health synthesizes the evidence on gender in the health workforce
through the four themes of occupational segregation, the gender pay gap, gender gaps in
leadership and decent work (covering sexual harassment, discrimination and bias). Findings
highlight the large percentage of female health workers in low- and middle-income countries
working on insecure terms and conditions, without a supportive legal and social protection
framework.
