About Global Health 50/50
Global Health 50/50 (GH5050) provides rigorous data and insight in the pursuit of gender equality within global health and across other sectors, systems and frameworks. Established in 2017, GH5050 operates as an independent, evidence-driven initiative with charitable status registered in the UK. Our ethos revolves around the principles of human rights, particularly in relation to gender equality, and we are resolute in our commitment to effecting meaningful change.
At GH5050, we embrace an authoritative, analytical approach, underpinned by a genuine concern for social justice and equity. Our work transcends borders, drawing upon a wealth of data-led insights to inform policy, shape discourse, and drive tangible progress. As a trusted source of information and analysis, we serve as both catalyst and convener, fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders to drive [KB1] reform.
While founded to monitor and act on inequalities and inequities in the global health sector, GH5050 is now embarking on an ambitious expansion into new sectors, including law and justice and finance and economics building upon our proven model of data-driven advocacy. By leveraging partnerships, particularly in diverse geographies, engaging stakeholders, and amplifying marginalized voices, we aim to make enduring contributions to the global pursuit of gender parity and social justice.
Context
Through our flagship report and Gender and Health Index, GH5050 provides the only birds-eye view of gender, inclusion and equality in the global health system today. The report assesses 200 organisations annually across a core set of variables on policies and practices to tackle power and privilege imbalances within the workplace, the gender and geography of organisational leadership, and whether gender is considered in any organisations' external-facing programmatic or policy work.
In addition to the annual report, GH5050 also produces a range of other evidence-informed outputs, including thematic reports relating to equality and diversity in the workplace (e.g. on gender pay gap), and policy briefs about strategies for organisational change.
GH5050 is expanding into new sectors beyond health and will increasingly support analysis at the country level.
