Women make up 75% of the global health workforce yet fill fewer than 20% of the leadership roles.
It’s time to change the status quo.
Women in Global Health Seattle (WGH Seattle) is a movement of professional women and their allies working in global health in the Pacific Northwest.
​
WGH Seattle is advancing gender equity in global health leadership by creating space for building personal and professional networks, challenging the status quo, and inspiring professionals in the Pacific Northwest to create pathways and support for women, trans, and/or gender nonconforming people in global health to achieve their full potential.
​
Values Statement
​
WGH Seattle is an inclusive group that recognizes systemic discrimination against Black, Indigenous, people of color, women, and LGBTQIA+ people impacting their career pathways and advancement, as well as many other aspects of their lives. We understand that people at the intersections of those identities face compounded biases. We take an expansive view of gender and strive to center Black, Indigenous, and women of color. If you think you belong, you do.
