Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Task Force (SWEAT)

SWEAT has a 20-year history in organising sex workers, advocating for and delivering services to South African Sex Workers. We have facilitated birth of two movements - a Pan African Alliance of sex workers (African Sex Worker Alliance) and a national movement of sex workers called Sisonke. ASWA is now an independent organisation based in Kenya, and Sisonke is moving towards its own independence in South Africa.

Our vision is: A South Africa where people who choose to sell sex are able to enjoy freedom, rights and human dignity.

SWEAT uses an evidence informed human rights based approach to address sex workers' health.

We embrace the concept of wellness - which requires the active participation of sex workers in becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness goes beyond merely the absence of disease - it includes physical, mental, and social well-being.

...women's experiences in conflict cannot be understood or responded to separately from the denial of women's rights and gender equality in everyday life, nor indeed do those experiences, including gender-based and sexual violence, conclude with a ceasefire or post-conflict agreement.

General Recommendation 19 obliges states to take all appropriate measures to end violence against women. No matter where it occurs (in the home, community or society at large) or who the perpetrators are (state or private actors), states have an obligation to prevent, investigate, punish and provide adequate reparations for all acts of gender-based violence.
Recognition that gender-based violence against women is a form of discrimination which states have an obligation to prevent, prosecute and punish came with the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, General Recommendation 19 (GR 19) in 1992. GR 19 brought violence against women into the domain of international human rights law and, for the first time, required states to report on their measures to combat it.

Nearly 25 years later, and in response to the calls from academics, practitioners and NGOs, the CEDAW Committee appointed a Working Group to consider updating GR 19. By invitation, the Centre for Women, Peace and Security supported this Working Group by convening a knowledge exchange workshop, facilitating and participating in Expert Group Meetings and by individual members providing impartial expert advice.

Over two days in February 2016, the Centre hosted five members of the CEDAW Committee, the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, senior staff from the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and a group of practitioners and academics, for discussion and debate to inform the update of GR 19.

On the first day, the workshop Tackling Violence Against Women: International and regional approaches included the CEDAW Committee members but also legal practitioners, scholars, campaigners and policy-makers. The workshop both facilitated the sharing of knowledge between participants, and offered insights from their particular sector and experience to the members of the CEDAW Committee Working Group.

The following day, LSE WPS hosted an Expert Group Meeting, at which external experts, including members of the Centre, made recommendations and suggestions to the CEDAW Committee Working Group in support of their work updating GR 19.

Work in support of the CEDAW Committee continued into 2017, with a second Expert Group Meeting and further independent advisory briefings. In July 2017, the CEDAW Committee adopted General Recommendation No 35 (GR 35): on gender-based violence against women, updating General Recommendation No. 19 (1992) (GR 19).

CEDAW General Recommendation 35 on violence against women is a significant step forward | LSE Women, Peace and Security blog

General Recommendation No 35 | Tackling Violence Against Women

With more funding, it is anticipated that the success of this work on GR19 will constitute a model for future engagement with the CEDAW Committee, providing the opportunity to actively inform and support its work to advance women's human rights and gender equality.

Working with the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences provides a valuable opportunity to engage, support, and maximise awareness and impact of her mandate.

In 2016, the Centre for Women, Peace and Security launched a two-year partnership with the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences, and appointed the mandate-holder, Dr Dubravka Šimonović, as a Visiting Professor in Practice.

Under the partnership, the Centre is supporting Dr Šimonović with preliminary thematic research, offering external advice and briefings, convening Expert Group Meetings and assisting with public engagement and outreach.

The first Expert Group Meeting hosted by LSE WPS in support of the SR VAW took place in June 2016, on the subject of Femicide. The meeting brought together experts from academia, practice and law, and from across geographical regions. Preliminary research to inform the scope of the meeting was provided by Centre staff, and recommendations to improve states' accountability to prevent, investigate, and prosecute arose from the interactions and engagement.

In September 2016 LSE WPS hosted a meeting to assist the SR VAW in assessing her priorities for her three-year mandate, and planned the second EGM on Shelters and Protection Orders which took place in January 2017.

'Tackling Violence against Women' is an online resource aimed at explaining the global and regional human rights frameworks that exist to end gender-based discrimination and tackle violence against women and girls.

The site is primarily intended for those already engaged in advocacy, litigation and civil society action, but will be of use to anyone with an interest in understanding the current human rights mechanisms and processes, and their capacity to progress transformative equality for women.

The site is rooted in the understanding that violence against women is a form of gender-based discrimination and a violation of women's human rights.

It sets out the existing international human rights instruments and institutions that tackle violence against women, as well as those which have the potential to be used in this way. This includes explaining the treaties and evolving jurisprudence, and highlighting where campaigning and advocacy organisations can engage with human rights bodies in order to better protect and promote women's human rights.

Summaries of landmark legal cases take real life stories and explain how courts and other bodies refer to and learn from each other in reaching their opinions, and the wider ambit of each ruling in tackling the structural bases of gender-based violence.

Links to full texts of treaties, legal judgments and expert opinions are provided throughout the site. Articles, books and films are recommended in the timeline of key developments, and by the feminists profiled in the interview series In Visibility.

Highlighting the importance of employees’ intercultural and inclusion competences, their development, and their impact on creating such an inclusive work environment

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Research Centre on Intercultural Management, Diversity and Inclusion

In the 1980s, the American economist and Harvard Business School professor Theodore Levitt popularised the term 'globalisation' by writing about emerging global markets and the advantages of standardised consumer products. More than thirty years later, this very phenomenon - globalisation - has had profound effects on business operations across the globe, and the cross-border activities of companies have made the concept of culture, especially national culture, highly relevant to organisations and managers alike.

However, national culture, although important, represents only one of the various dimensions across which individuals and employees differ. Today, other diversity dimensions, such as gender, LGBTQ+, age or personality are also extensively discussed, especially with respect to their impact on teams, organisations, and leadership requirements. Diversity in its various forms can improve team creativity and innovation, benefiting companies substantially by increasing their performance.

However, this diversity comes at a price and can also complicate collaborative processes. Conflicts may increase while trust and cohesion among team members decrease. In this case, this limits employees' opportunity to contribute their various perspectives allowing organisations to realize the potential that is inherent in diversity. The question is then, how organisations can successfully manage an increasingly diverse workforce to leverage this potential. Inclusion represents a very promising approach to do so.

Instead of counting heads, which is often the focus of diversity management, inclusion focuses on making heads count. By ensuring that employees develop a sense of belonging within the organisation while also being encouraged to bring their unique selves to work, an inclusive work environment helps all employees regardless of their backgrounds and characteristics to contribute their diverse perspectives and ideas.

In our research, we highlight the importance of employees' intercultural and inclusion competences, their development, and their impact on creating such an inclusive work environment.

Professor of Human Resource Management and Intercultural Leadership

Mission/Objectives

Our goal

The goal of the Excellence Centre for Intercultural Management, Diversity and Inclusion is to deepen the understanding of intercultural management, diversity, and inclusion-related issues in organisations and to translate the latest scientific insights into practice.

Specifically, our Excellence Centre focuses on three research questions:

First, how can we define and conceptualise individual competences that support and foster an inclusive work environment?

Second, what trajectories exist or can be envisioned that help employees and leaders to develop these competences?

And finally, what tangible effects can we observe in an organisational environment that focuses on inclusion?

Academic research on these questions can only be a first step; we further aim to translate the resulting insights from our research into practice. Therefore, we regularly engage with companies across the world in order to collect more data, discuss our findings and support them in further developing their inclusion agenda. This entails keynote presentations, webinars as well as training and consulting measures.

Main Research Themes

Individual contributions to inclusion in organisations: Developing inclusion competence

Creating an inclusive work environment not only requires organisational structures and processes to be supportive, but also joint efforts from different actors in an organisation.

Top management, leaders and team members alike can contribute to an inclusive climate and employees' feelings of belonging and being valued for their uniqueness. While most research in the field has focused on individual perceptions of being included, little attention has been paid to the individual employee as a driver of inclusion in organisation.

With our research, we aim to fill this gap introducing inclusion competence as a key employee competence if organisations want to harness the potential of a diverse workforce. Further, to help organisations assess and monitor their employees' level of inclusion competence and to identify potential training and development needs, we are developing a measure that captures the concept on different levels (e.g., cognitive, affective, and behavioural).

New ways of developing intercultural and inclusion competences

Given the current discussions (e.g., how can innovative educational approaches improve the learning transfer?) and the increasing digitalisation of education, we are exploring new ways of teaching and learning.

At ESCP Business School we developed Moving Tomorrow, a serious video game series. It aims to develop intercultural competences focusing on but not limited to national cultural differences in users. On the contrary, various diversity dimensions have been deliberately integrated.

The Moving Tomorrow series is a game-based learning application, where players immerse in a video game-like environment and get to learn about different insights from cross-cultural psychology and intercultural management and diversity research from a theoretical and practical point of view. As the current understanding of learning with these so-called serious games is still rather limited, we wish to explore not only the effectiveness of using applications like Moving Tomorrow to develop intercultural and inclusion competences, but to also carve out the unique characteristics of the underlying learning process when players play the game.

Diversity, inclusion, and innovation - making heads count

Research has demonstrated more than once that there is a business case for diversity: Organisations that do not embrace diversity enough risk losses, or at least reduced profits.

Increased creativity and innovation are discussed as major advantages related to a diverse workforce. However, diversity can also be a hindrance to trust and cohesion in teams, making conflicts more probable and sharing perspectives less likely. Therefore, the relationship between diversity and innovation is not as straightforward as it may seem; it depends on a variety of other factors.

With our research, we aim to contribute to a better understanding of the success factors that enable organisations to benefit from the innovative potential of a diverse workforce with a specific focus on the role of an inclusive work environment. Building on our findings, we derive implications to inform different actors in organisations which include, but are not limited to, top management, team leaders, and Human Resource Management in general.

Intercultural Management, Diversity and Inclusion Learning

Learning has become a central cornerstone in an increasingly complex world that requires individuals to grow constantly - both personally and professionally. At the same time, the advent of the internet has created easy access to information and knowledge that has never been there before. At ESCP Business School, we combine the advantages of traditional classroom-based learning with opportunities inherent in innovative, technology-enhanced learning environments.

Moving Tomorrow - Serious Game About Intercultural Management

Moving Tomorrow is a serious game series aiming to enhance the players' intercultural understanding and their inclusion competence. The Moving Tomorrow series is built upon core mechanisms of gaming, where the players will engage in conversations with other characters (non-player characters) and make important decisions that will ultimately affect how the story pans out. In eight hours of gameplay, the players embark on a virtual journey to the Berlin-based start-up "Runergy" and to its subsidiaries in Russia, China and India, where they will unravel an evil plot that endangers Runergy's future. So, get ready to save Runergy and learn more about culture and intercultural management, which will also help you to get a better understanding of diversity and inclusion.

Detailed Project Examples

Success Factors for Western Expatriates in Russia

In terms of international assignments, Western expatriates and human resources (HR) departments find Russia to be one of the most challenging destinations. Why? Well, one of the key reasons is the often profound difference in leadership behaviours between East and West, and so managers have a keen interest in understanding which management styles are necessary to succeed in a Russian professional setting. In a series of 35 one-hour interviews, we set out to gain a thorough understanding of leadership-related success factors for Western expatriates in Russia. Three key findings emerged from the research:

It is necessary for expatriates to become more authoritarian, though not as much as the Russians themselves. They must also find the right balance between authority and a people orientation, and finally, they must learn to motivate Russian employees through a combination of control and rewards. This necessarily has implications for HR departments, because they need to adapt their pre-departure training and ongoing support programmes differently and more extensively than in other countries.

Cultural Moderators in Business Negotiations

Transactions in business-to-business markets frequently rely on negotiations between selling and buying companies, and these negotiations often cross borders whereby the buying company originates from a country that is different from the selling company's country of origin. Not surprisingly, cultural differences between teams in these companies can complicate the negotiation process and may lead to the use of negotiation strategies, where one party wins only at the expense of the other.

One idea to overcome these challenges is to equip negotiation teams with a 'cultural moderator', an individual who has the same cultural background as the business partner. In a case-study-based negotiation simulation with more than 200 participants, the authors were able to show that depending on the degree of the cultural moderator's collectivism, such a moderator can help to design a negotiation process that focuses on win-win agreements rather than on win-lose scenarios. However, the use of particular negotiation strategies was only weakly (if at all) connected to economic outcomes of the negotiation. Interestingly, despite the fact that a cultural moderator can increase or decrease the focus on win-win agreements, he/she consistently helps teams to improve their economic outcomes (such as increasing profits) in negotiations.

Intercultural Management, Diversity and Inclusion About us

Our vision is to become the leading institute and primary resource for the development of interpersonal competences centered around topics of culture, diversity and inclusion.

In addition, we aim to conduct high-profile academic and practice-oriented research projects in the fields of intercultural management, diversity and inclusion by collaborating with a large network of academics and organisations.

We are a group of researchers with experience in the field of intercultural management and we are passionate about human resources and (cultural) diversity. We believe strongly in the potential of an increasingly interconnected and diverse world, not only in terms of organisational benefits, but also in terms of a more tolerant and open-minded society. Workforce heterogeneity is a critical enabler for organisational creativity, as employees from different backgrounds bring their unique perspectives to the table. This in turn fosters an intercultural dialogue necessary to remove existing intercultural barriers, fears, and prejudices.

Through this newly founded institute, we offer our independent expertise and knowledge to practitioners and academics alike.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Employing a range of theoretical and methodological approaches and substantive foci, members of MERB are united by a shared interest in the 'external' socio-cultural and political environments in which racial, citizenship, and state/geographic identities and opportunities are constructed. We also share interests in the 'internal' environments of community, family and embodied capacities/identities through which individuals and groups resist and act creatively upon these horizons of constraint and possibility. This dual view is also reflected by research on the tensions between the 'public' and 'private' and how these both shape and are shaped by the dynamics of religious identity in the UK and beyond.

Current research on race and ethnicity (e.g. on transracial adoption, the second generation, 'mixed race') explores how individuals develop identities through strategies of adaptation, integration and mobilization. Other projects investigate migrant transnationalisms and diasporas. Ongoing analyses in belonging and religion explore the links between formal and substantive citizenship, and the sense of feeling 'at home' within the nation-state or in specific ethnic/class or gendered communities. Central here is an interest in the increased significance of religion as a resource of belonging, and its relevance to transnational identities and debates about 'integration', as well as theoretical analyses of the embodiment as a foundation of identity and meaning-making cultural and religious practices.

Unsettled Identities conference, 21 June 2019

In an era of increasing uncertainty and polarization between far-right populism and anti-racist work, how can we critically re-imagine identity and belonging? What are the analytical tools available to us, in understanding the classificatory politics of identity when the basis of social location are shifting? In Trans, Rogers Brubaker (2016) demonstrates how gender and race, both seen as stable identity categories, are becoming much more fluid and ambiguous, with possibilities for movement across categories. What happens when we view identity as fluid? What are the social policy implications of such fluid identity formulations? How does it change who gets to count as a minority and how their membership is defined? How can we tackle head on, micro fascisms within feminism, anti-racist work and LTBG groups that hold onto biological formulations of gender and race, exclude trans and mixed-race voices? What are the potential benefits and pitfalls of identity politics in pushing for a more inclusive sociology of race and ethnicity?

Unsettled Identities is an intersectional one-day conference hosted by this cluster. which seeks to challenge and unravel some of the taken for granted categories through which we understand identity and belonging (find out more and book a place on eventbrite).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The case studies will be part of the Engendering Habitat III: Facing the Global Challenges in Cities, Climate Change and Transport international conference (6-7 October, Madrid), organised by genderSTE in collaboration with UNESCO and the Technical University of Madrid. The conference tracks and topics will help define gender-related priorities for the New Urban Agenda, the UN strategy for sustainable urban development across the globe for the next 20 years.

Inés Sánchez de Madariaga, genderSTE Chair and Director of the UNESCO Chair on Gender Equality Policies in Science Technology and Innovation, stressed the example of genderSTE as a similar platform to those that UN-Habitat aims to create as a result of Habitat III - the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, taking place in Quito later this year.

" We are the main platform on gender and cities in Europe, andour networking activities held all over the European continent during the past four years we have impacted hundreds of individuals and organisations ", she added.

At Engendering Habitat III, architects, city planners and experts from academia, international organisations and the private sector will discuss the factors, strategies and previous experiences that have supported gender equality in the context of sustainable cities.

Some of these factors feature in the case studies that genderSTE developed throughout its four-year lifespan. For instance, the network suggested ways to integrate gender criteria and indicators in statistical analyses, in order to promote sustainable transport systems. This is because most transport users in urban areas worldwide are women, but they are not equally represented in project planning or decision making, and more than half do not feel safe commuting. Similarly, it is women that are most affected by extreme climate events related to climate change.

GenderSTE is a network of government bodies, research organizations, universities, non-profits, and private companies from 40 countries all over the world, as well as international organizations, promoting gender balance in scientific research and innovation and helping organisations working in city planning, transport, energy and industrial innovation become more gender-equal.

Gender, Justice and Security Hub Statement on Israel-Palestine

Gender, Justice and Security Hub members are horrified by the atrocious attacks and loss of life in Israel and Palestine. Our work documents the devastating long-term consequences that violence, conflict, colonialism and oppression have on individuals, families and communities, recognising in particular the effects on women, children and people with minoritised sexual and gender identities.

Gender, Justice and Security Blog

The Gender, Justice, and Security blog is a space for critical dialogue around the six research themes of the Gender, Justice and Security Hub. The blog seeks to make academic and practice-led research and analysis available in an accessible way for a wide readership, explore contemporary issues relating to gender, justice and security and improve public debate.

Home page for the CYGNA network

The name CYGNA comes from the female version of the Greek word for SWAN ( Supporting Women in Academia Network). Established in June 2014, our main objective is to promote interaction among female academics and to provide a forum for learning, support, and networking.

We organize bi-monthly events and celebrated our 50th meeting in 2022. For more details on our meetings see here. A quick overview of past presentations can be found here. We maintain a readings and inspirations section for female academics, a LinkedIn group, and hashtags #cygna_london and #cygnawomen.

For a full description of our network see: Celebrating CYGNA: Supporting women in academia. An overview of blogposts of nearly all our meetings is here. If you are interested in being on the mailing list and/or attending our events please contact Anne-Wil Harzing ( anne@harzing.com). Feel free to share this information to anyone who might be interested.

What does CYGNA mean to its members? At our 50th meeting we asked members to share a few words about what CYGNA meant to them. The resulting word-cloud is a perfect summary of CYGNA: a friendly, kind, inclusive, and supportive community, providing a safe space / place to exchange ideas, share experiences, provide advice, inspire, and learn. We think that's pretty amazing :-). This succinct, but wonderfully evocative, comment by the equally wonderful Luisa Pinto says it all.

Center for Research in Sociology

CERS is a sociological research centre devoted to the study of two important issues:
how social values are formed and how collective feelings take shape.

These issues combine to provide four directions for the centre's current research programme

Sociology of money,

Anthropology of moral attitudes,

A clinical approach to political phenomena,

The sociology of knowledge.

The sociological methods of the research centre are enriched by contributions from the fields of psychology, psychoanalysis, economics, management, history and philosophy.
Domiciled at ESCP the CERS works in close collaboration with the Laboratoire de Changement Social (Research Centre for Social Change) at University of Paris VII. The two research structures have several concurrent research projects.
The CERS is a meeting place and discussion forum as well as a research centre. Each year it organises an annual seminar on a topic of central interest to the centre. It also organises conferences and workshops throughout the year (a recent jointly organized conference at ESCP look at "globalisation and its impacts"). The CERS conducts focussed research on specific topics in collaboration with other research institutions and publishes scientific works.

Organization

CERS members include teachers, researchers, doctoral candidates and people from industry with an interest in the activities and research of the centre.

A team of four professors lead the centre and define its areas of interest.

The team is responsible for organizing the annual seminar, workshops and research projects. The annual seminar is open to all interested individuals.

News from the Gender in Medicine (GiM)

Digital platform on inherited cancer risk funded with 4.3 million euro

In Germany, around 69.000 women and 700 men fall ill with breast cancer every year. Around 30 percent of these patients have an increased inherited cancer risk. For this particular group pf patients better treatment options are becoming more readily available. However, these interventions are most successful if the inherited cancer risk is discovered early on.

In a new project funded by the Innovationsfonds of the " Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss" a new digital care platform for people with inherited cancer risk and their treating doctors will be developed. Specialist knowledge about breast cancer will be available through the platform and the network of carers and patients will be strengthened.

The scientists leading the project are based at the Gender in Medicine institute of the Charité University hospital, TU and HU Berlin. They want to investigate if the care platform can aid with early cancer detection and can improve the quality of life for patients. The experience of the project leaders with law and ethics surrounding digital technologies will be a crucial piece of the final product.

The digital platform will be funded with ~ 4.3 million euro over the course of four years. The Innovationsfonds usually facilitates projects that go beyond regular statutory health insurance. Should the pilot phase encourage it, the digital platform could be integrated into regular care in the future, where the focus could expand to other illnesses as well.

Dr. Friederike Kendel is particularly excited about the colloaboration with experts in medicine, ergonomics and law: "Digital transformation offers many exciting opportunities to improve medical care. However, there are clear ethical, psychosocial and legal risks associated with it, for which there are currently not many concrete solutions available. These solutions can only be found if we work closely together as part of an interdisciplinary endeavour.

Pregnant women and newborns are among the most vulnerable in conflict

UNFPA is critically concerned for women and girls in Gaza, including the estimated 50,000 pregnant women - of whom 5,522 are expected to deliver in the next month; these women are cut off from safe delivery services as hospitals come under attack and the health system unravels, with life-saving medicines, fuel and electricity running out.
Help us deliver essential healthcare services to women in Gaza.

A world-leading centre of research and teaching excellence in global health.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Centre for Gender and Global Health aims to promote a transformative approach to gender and health in research, policy and practice, through collaboration across UCL disciplines, Faculties and with a wide variety of external partners. Current areas of research focus include: gender-based violence; the intersections of gender, race and marginalisation; constructions of masculinities and femininities; analyses of the policy environment to address gender-driven risks of non-communicable diseases; analyses of the history of gender in global health policies and programmes.

Strategic Priorities

To conduct collaborative research on key areas of gender and global health, including the relationships between individual, community and societal expressions and experiences of gender and their impact on health, and analyses of how global health institutions respond to evidence on gender.

To contribute to the dissemination and uptake of research on gender and health through continued collaboration with NGOs, communities, the media, politicians, policy makers, school children and student groups, in Asia, Africa, South America, Australia and Europe, and dissemination of our work through peer-reviewed publications, policy briefs, talks, panel discussions, the media, and the launch of our first annual Global Health 50:50 - a report on gender mainstreaming within 100+ global health institutions in 2018.

To promote the inclusion of gender in global health teaching through: (1) a multidisplinary teaching module and short course that will expand knowledge and understanding of the Centre's vision of gender transformation for global health, incorporating both theoretical and applied perspectives, and including contributions from across UCL and beyond; (2) teaching on gender in the MSc in Global Health and Development; (3) a collaboration with Students for Global Health (formally known as Medsin UK) to ensure gender and health teaching is mainstreamed into the national medical curriculum.

What survivors want and how health practitioners can respond.

The Safer Families Centre has released global evidence from syntheses of studies about what victim survivors expect from health practitioners. However, not all health practitioners are (or feel) equipped to ask about domestic abuse or how to provide an empathic first line response. Read our latest brief #2 Identifying and responding to domestic abuse and family violence where we recommend what needs to change and how that change can happen for health practitioners to feel ready to do the work. This brief can be read in conjunction with other briefs in our series available to download HERE.

Diversity and inclusion are about recognising that we’re all different and have varying needs. Age, disability, gender reassignment (including non-binary), marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation are some of the factors which can mean that people have different experiences or may face additional barriers and prejudice. These are ‘protected characteristics’ under the Equality Act (2010). This means it is unlawful to treat someone less favourably because of any of these factors.

The conference brought together this disparate group of researchers and it was decided during the conference to provide a network for such researchers to meet and exchange knowledge and ideas.

The Black Women's Health & Wellbeing Research Network has held annual seminars which have attracted participants from health, local authority and the voluntary sector.

Mission

Women have unique health needs, and most diseases and conditions affect women differently than men.

The Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR) is the thought leader in promoting research on biological sex differences in disease and improving women's health through science, policy, and education. We are making women's health mainstream.

Work that matters

Biological differences between the sexes exist, from a single cell to the entire body. SWHR is bringing attention to sex and gender differences in health and disease in order to address unmet needs and research gaps in women's health.

This Giving Tuesday, join SWHR in recognizing the work of women caregivers!

This November is Family Caregivers Month and Tuesday, November 28 is Going Tuesday. This fall, SWHR is spotlight the important work on women caregivers. Caregivers are any unpaid individuals involved in assisting others with daily living activities and medical tasks, and they can be a spouse, partner, family member, friend, or neighbor. Upwards of 75% of all caregivers nationwide are women. No matter the role, they all share a common goal of supporting the health of others. And this Giving Tuesday, SWHR is recognizing them.

🙏 Do you have a caregiver in your life? Visit our Giving Tuesday page to donate to SWHR and help us improve the lives of women across the lifespan.

💌 Are you a caregiver or do you know a caregiver with a powerful story to share? Share your caregiver story with SWHR here and you could help inform future health resources.

UPCOMING SWHR EVENTS

Join us for expert conversations on women's health research and care, hosted by SWHR and featuring SWHR leaders.
