Did you know? Although women make up 75% of the global healthcare workforce, their contributions often go unrecognized and there continue to be large gender gaps in both global health leadership and pay. One of the ways to reverse gender inequality in global health is through storytelling.

Join Lisa Russell, MPH, an Emmy-winning filmmaker, TED Talk speaker, and Director and Producer of the new documentary Heroines of Health (executive produced by GE Healthcare) for a screening and hands-on storytelling workshop that will provide simple social media tools to help elevate stories as women and allies of women in global health.

Heroines of Health is a character-driven documentary that profiles three amazing women global health leaders - Dr. Sharmila (India), Mercy (Kenya) and Mrs. Rohani (Indonesia) - who have overcome incredible personal and cultural obstacles to become lifesaving forces in their own communities.
