Abstract

Gender equality is considered paramount to the success of the Sustainable Development Goals and incorporated into global health programming and delivery, but there is great gender disparity within global health leadership and an absence of women at the highest levels of decision making. This perspective piece outlines the current gaps and challenges, highlighting the lack of data and unanswered questions regarding possible solutions, as well as the activity of Women in Global Health and efforts to directly address the inequity and lack of female leaders. We conclude with an agenda and tangible next steps of action for promoting women's leadership in health as a means to promote the global goals of achieving gender equality and catalyzing change.

现在是时候了——呼吁在全球卫生领导中采取行动，实现性别平等。

两性平等被认为对可持续发展目标的成功至关重要，并被纳入全球卫生方案规划和执行，但在全球卫生领导层内部存在巨大的性别差异，妇女没有参与最高决策级别。这篇透视文章概述了当前的差距和挑战，强调缺乏数据和关于可能解决办法的悬而未决的问题，以及妇女参与全球卫生的活动，以及为直接解决不平等和缺乏女性领导人的问题所做的努力。最后，我们提出了促进妇女在保健领域发挥领导作用的议程和具体的后续行动步骤，以此作为促进实现两性平等和促进变革的全球目标的手段。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
