Women and Health: Together for the Future is led by founding members and a board of directors — committed women and men who are academics, community organizers and activists from over 24 countries.
They educate, advocate and implement programmes to improve women’s health around the globe. WHTF began in 1991 as a taskforce of The Network, and that collaboration continues in partnership with The Network: TUFH. GHETS provided financial support to increase the impact of WHTF from 2003 to 2024.
