Nursing: A Pathway to Empowerment for Women

Published on 23 June 2020

Explores how women can achieve economic empowerment through a nursing education and career, and be leaders for social justice and equity.

Nursing remains a highly gendered profession and 90% of the nursing workforce are women (State of the World’s Nursing 2020). Strengthening and focusing health systems around primary health care (PHC) is essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) and universal health coverage. Nurses are leading PHC and, as health is a prerequisite to achieving all 17 Sustainable Development Goals are the common thread through which all SDGs can be realized. This session explores how women can achieve economic empowerment through a nursing education and career, and be leaders for social justice and equity.

This webinar is co-presented with the International Council of Nurses.
