NewsHealth DevelopmentMobilizing Principles for Equitable Global Health Research: Canada invests in research to ensure global health is practiced in an equitable wayFor many people, the raison d’être of global health is the achievement of health equity for all people worldwide.

NewsHealthWomen RISE initiative launches on International Women’s Day: Canada invests in research to ensure an equitable COVID-19 recoveryAround the world, women and girls have disproportionately suffered the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19. Before the pandemic, women were doing three times as much unpaid care and domestic work as men. Data from UN Women shows that women make up 70% of the health workforce worldwide and are therefore at the forefront of the COVID-19 response; in 11 countries where sex-disaggregated data is available, women account for 71% of confirmed cases among healthcare workers. On many fronts, the limited gains made on gender equity over recent decades are at risk of being rolled back.Date
