Are you Board level individual with a drive for gender equality? Global 50/50, a global leader in evidence-driven gender justice, is seeking additional Trustees for their Board.

Since 2017, Global Health 50/50 has been a trusted, evidence-driven authority and research initiative driving accountability for gender equality in the global health sector. Our work has helped to catalyse change across the policies, practices, and leadership within our sample of 200 organisations working in global health, and beyond – establishing a global benchmark for progress and transparency for equality.

The forces driving gender inequality don’t stop at the borders of health. That’s why Global Health 50/50 has evolved into Global 50/50 allowing us to take our proven model into new sectors, while staying grounded in the evidence-informed, change-focused work we’re known for. With a broader mandate and a growing team, we maintain an unwavering commitment to driving gender justice across the systems that shape our lives.

Global 50/50 has a bold new vision: to expose and address gender inequality across global systems in three powerful pillars: 

• Global Health 50/50: Continuing to lead on gender and health equity. 

• Global Justice 50/50: Launching mid-2025, with an interim report on the judiciary and a full Global Gender & Justice Report in the autumn. 

• Global Finance 50/50: Launching in 2026, with a focus on gender accountability across financial systems. 

Each initiative builds on GH5050’s proven methodology: rigorous, transparent research that not only highlights disparities but activates data for accountability and drives reform. 

The role of trustees

As a Trustee, you will help shape Global 50/50’s Strategic Direction: providing a sounding board and balance to the executive team, guidance on long-term planning and external engagement. Ultimately, with your fellow trustees, responsible for the sustainability of the organisation, you will help ensure and support the executive team to deliver:

Good Governance & Compliance: Oversee financial health, risk management, and adherence to regulatory requirements.

Financial Sustainability: Support fundraising efforts, donor engagement, and responsible financial oversight.

Global 50/50’s Influence & Visibility: Act as an ambassador to strengthen partnerships and advocacy impact.

• Travel costs reimbursed
• The option of joining board meetings remotely
• Discussing your accessibility needs and making reasonable adjustments as needed.
