Allyship is a cornerstone for creating more inclusive and equitable leadership structures in global health. With women comprising nearly 70% of the health workforce yet holding only a quarter of leadership roles, the need for systemic change is urgent. Male allies, who actively work to dismantle barriers and promote gender equity, play a vital role by addressing unconscious biases, challenging harmful stereotypes, and advocating for policies that empower women to lead. Equally critical is the allyship among women, where mentorship, sponsorship, and collective action create networks of support and amplify women’s voices.Allyship is not merely a supportive role; it is a transformational approach to leadership that ensures diverse voices and perspectives are represented.
