Initiatives

Global 50/50 holds many of the world's most powerful institutions to account on gender. We also develop standards and benchmarks, analyse how gender shapes health outcomes across populations, and convene leaders on the evidence. Together, we build a shared, evidence-informed understanding of what gender justice requires.

Our initiatives

Global Health 50/50

Global 50/50’s annual report and Gender and Health Index are the global benchmark to hold institutions to account on gender justice. We unite evidence with practical resources, direct engagement with leaders, and movement-building to drive change.

Global Justice 50/50

Global Justice 50/50 examines gender equality in leadership, policy, and institutional practice across 171 organisations that uphold justice and the rule of law. We unite evidence with practical resources, direct engagement with leaders, and movement-building to drive change.

Closing the gender and ethnicity pay gap

The gender pay gap is one of the clearest, most measurable signs of unequal power at work. Global 50/50 analyses pay gap data across organisations while making the case for why and how to close the gap.

Gendered Health Pathways

A groundbreaking data visualisation tool combining multiple standardised global data sources to present a clear, connected picture of the differences in men’s and women’s health journeys across the world.

Sex, Gender and COVID-19 Project

The COVID-19 Data Tracker is the world’s largest database of sex-disaggregated data on COVID-19, along with the Health Policy Portal, the most comprehensive analysis of the integration of sex and gender in national COVID-19 health policies.

Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health

The Commission, co-chaired by G5050 co-CEO Sarah Hawkes, offers bold, evidence-informed recommendations and a practical toolkit for transforming health systems to serve all people.

Gender justice for planetary health

As Earth’s natural systems deteriorate, frontline communities bear the brunt, often excluded from solutions. This research delves into whether critical gender considerations shape global responses to planetary health crises.

Women in Leadership in India and Kenya

Together with APHRC and ICRW, G5050 published a special collection on women in leadership in the health sector in India and Kenya in the leading global health journal, BMJ – a culmination of over two years of research partnership.

Global Food 50/50

The establishment of the Global Food 50/50 initiative is a response to broad stakeholder demand for a global food system that is accountable for progress toward gender equality. This global mechanism monitors progress and holds food system organizations accountable for achieving gender equality in leadership and implementing policies and strategies for gender-just and equitable food systems.
