GP048: Gender Equality and Social Inclusion with Dr. Rosemary Morgan and Dr. Linda Thumba
Manage episode 378555162 series 1382816
While our profession has been female-dominated for most, if not all, of its history, leadership positions are disproportionately occupied by men. In addition, there are significant gender inequities with regard to the global unmet needs of rehabilitation. Women accounted for just over half of the 2.4 billion people worldwide living with conditions that would benefit from rehabilitation services according to data from the Global Burden of Disease Study conducted in 2019. So, why aren’t we talking more about gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) within rehabilitation? Today’s guests are here to help us do just that.
Dr. Rosemary Morgan is an Associate Scientist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in the Department of International Health, with a joint position in the School of Nursing. Her research focuses on the role of gender inequities on health, wellbeing, and public health interventions.
Dr. Linda Thumba has her doctorate in Physical Therapy from Emory University and recently completed her Master of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. She is currently working as an Institutional Support Contractor at USAID.
