Women comprise approximately half of the world’s population, yet their role in the global health care ecosystem is often underrepresented or inadequately considered. Women face unique challenges over the course of their lifespans, due to biological sex differences in health and disease, as well as sociocultural influences related to gender. Disparities exist across disease states and life stages that touch every race, ethnic group, geographic location, and socioeconomic status. A comprehensive strategy to advance research on women’s health must be developed and implemented to address this global health deficiency. This series of sessions will discuss key developments and opportunities to advance women’s health through research, with a focus on addressing female underrepresentation in clinical studies; the role of women in health care decision-making; and barriers to accessing care and improving health outcomes for women across the global landscape. Participants of the event will identify opportunities for domestic and global collaborations and inform the development of a women’s health research agenda in the Outcomes Report to the United Nations.
