The Team
The Gender Equality Division's mission it to ensure women and girls in Africa and South Asia can enjoy good health, make their own choices, earn their own money, and be leaders in their societies. When women and girls have an equal chance to thrive and lead, everyone benefits. We know that women and girls are not a monolith. A woman's experience and the barriers she faces are different depending on factors like where she lives, how old she is, and how much money her family has-alongside other factors including her race, caste, and education level. We seek to address these compounding barriers through deep partnership with our grantees. As a philanthropy, our role is to listen to and learn from these experts. We take risks in new areas, prove concepts, and bring these ideas to governments, partner organizations, and private sector companies to scale. The Gender Equality Division builds off our existing strengths as a foundation in areas like global health and data, partnering closely with all of our global divisions.
The Women's Health Innovations (WHI) team under the GE Division is focused on developing and accelerating the introduction and scale of interventions that disproportionately impact health and economic outcomes for women and girls. WHI covers the areas of contraception, STI's, and gynecology/menstrual health across R&D, manufacturing, procurement, supply chain, and introduction.
