In science, globally, women account for only about 30% of researchers, according to UNESCO, and evidence shows that their participation is even lower at leadership and decision-making levels. Why is that, and what is being done to better support women’s careers in science?
Join Dr Garry Aslanyan and his expert panel of guests as they share their inspiring journeys as women leaders in global health. They also discuss the root causes of gender inequality in science and some strategies they have developed to address them.
This episode features:
Rose Leke, Founder of HIGHER Women Consortium Cameroon
Roopa Dhatt, Executive Director of Women in Global Health
Soumya Swaminathan, Chief Scientist at the World Health Organization
