How can health organisations, through their leadership, walk the talk of advancing gender equality and health equity?  Gender parity alone is not sufficient. We discussed going beyond parity to promote and build feminist leadership models that dismantle and transform oppressive power structures in institutions and organisations.  Gain a better understanding of what feminist leadership means and looks like in practice. Co-organised by the United Nations University International Institute for Global Health (UNU-IIGH) and Creating Resources for Empowerment in Action (CREA).

This 90-minute roundtable is co-hosted by the UNU International Institute for Global Health (UNU-IIGH), World Health Organization, Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health, and Feminists for a People’s Vaccine. Experts will share and reflect on the experience and evidence to date and identify concrete pathways to position gender and equity firmly on the immunisation and pandemic preparedness agenda. The discussion will articulate a clear, shared, policy-relevant and people-centred vision to guide the application of a gender lens to vaccine and immunisation research, investments, and programming.
