Gender and Women's Health
We aim to advance the health of women in Australia and internationally, to reduce inequity and create positive change.
Through research, teaching and public engagement, our work contributes to a robust knowledge base about the health effects of gender inequity and its intersection with social, economic and cultural factors.
Professor Meghan Bohren is the Co-Director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre on Women's Health. She holds a National Health and Medical Research Council Emerging Leadership Fellowship and Dame Kate Campbell Fellowship, and previously held an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
Professor Bohren leads domestic and international research projects and collaborates with multi-disciplinary teams to better integrate the voices of women, families, and healthcare workers into the design, measurement, and implementation of public health and clinical interventions.
