This Series accompanies the development of the Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health, inviting Commissioners and Co-Chairs to discuss a key topic, question, or challenge that the Commission hopes to tackle. The series aims to involve a range of stakeholders and voices in its work and promote discussion and debate on gender and health. In the thirteenth event of the series, we will hear from Commissioners Sharon Friel, Professor of Health Equity and Director of the Menzies Centre for Health Governance at the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), Australian National University, and Sarah Hill, Senior Lecturer and Director of the Global Health Policy Unit at the University of Edinburgh.
