IntraHealth International promotes gender equality in health care, including working to help more women rise to leadership positions in the health workforce. We know that gender-based discrimination and inequalities can undermine health care, derail education and careers, and prevent countries from achieving their development goals. That’s why we partner with health workers, clients, policy-makers, and local organizations to eliminate gender-based discrimination, gender-based violence, and gender-based barriers to the accessibility, use, and quality of health care.  

Our key approaches include:

• Conducting institutional and programmatic gender analyses and planning
• Promoting equal opportunity and treatment in the health workforce, training, and education systems
• Affirming girls’ and women’s economic rights through policy changes, increasing access to economic resources, and more
• Responding to gender-based violence in health care facilities and in clients’ lives.
