About Women Work & Health Initiative, New Delhi in 12/369 Kalkaji, ground floor, Delhi

WWHI aims to empower women and the marginalised sections of society, which includes men. Our work focuses on the gendered aspects in the world of work and its implications on health. Increasing gender equality in leadership roles is the goal that drives our mission forward. WWHI’s unique approach integrates research and practice to achieve its objectives.

Given the mandate by the International Scientific Committee to create a network of women work and health in Asia, during the course of the IV International Congress 2005, Women Work and Health initiative was officially established. (More details)
