"The Canadian women leaders in global health list, initiated by Jocalyn Clark from The Lancet, and founded in collaboration with Eva Slawecki from the Canadian Society for International Health and Sarah Lawley from the Government of Canada, is inspired by a broader global movement to recognise the achievements and expertise of women in global health. In 2014, Ilona Kickbusch started a Twitter campaign to generate names of leading women working in global health for the #WGH100 list, and following a commentary in The Lancet, resulted in a list of 300 women leaders (#WGH300). In 2016 Roopa Dhatt founded the women in global health movement (#womeningh) to spur gender equity in global health leadership, and many regional chapters and lists have since emerged".
