We believe that fairness, shared responsibility, and human dignity must guide how institutions govern, how power is exercised, and how resources are distributed — across borders as well as within them.

Global 50/50 is an independent think tank to advance action and accountability for social and gender justice. Drawing on over three decades of national and global research, technical support, policy analysis and multilateral strategy development, we generate evidence to challenge inequity and drive institutional change.

Our Work

Global 50/50 informs gender-just change in policy and practice – building fairer, more equitable workplaces, enabling women’s leadership, and strengthening health policies that work for everyone. Through independent research, organisational assessments, partnership, and convening actors, we bring stakeholders together around an evidence-informed gender-just agenda.

Gender and career equality in health

We generate rigorous evidence on workplace policies and practices across the global health sector. We champion women’s and feminist leadership, particularly from low- and middle-income countries, by holding institutions accountable and promoting environments where women can thrive and lead at every level.

Gender and career equality in law and justice

Building on our proven, impact-driven research model developed for the health sector, Global Justice 50/50 applies independent analysis to the law and justice sector to drive stronger commitments and accountability for gender justice. Our inaugural report examines leadership and workplace policies across 171 global organisations.

Inequities and their impact on health outcomes

We produce cutting-edge research and innovative data visualisations on how social inequities influence health policy and health outcomes across populations. Our work analyses policy content, disparities in disease burden, and the social and commercial determinants of health to support more equitable global health policy and practice.
