The Platform
EQUAL is a web-based, curated, and user-verified platform designed for people working to advance gender equality and health equity. This platform allows members from across the world to share their work, access community resources, connect with members, and form collaborative partnerships.
EQUAL is new kind of professional networking space.
Unlike general online spaces cluttered with ads, irrelevant posts, or endless feeds, EQUAL connects verified members across sectors, from researchers and policymakers to clinicians, advocates, and investors, creating a focused environment for collaboration, learning, and meaningful partnerships.

A focused, real-time feed where members share updates, research highlights, event notices, and calls for collaboration. Moderators and reporting tools maintain quality, respectful and trusted content. Use this feature to share new ideas, crowdsource solutions, and announce opportunities to the Network.
An interactive global map that helps you discover and connect with members locally and across borders. Filter the map by expertise, member type (researcher, policymaker, clinician, investor, etc.), topics of interest and more. Privacy controls let members choose what location details to share. The map is built to spark unexpected partnerships; local allies, regional collaborators, and international introductions.
Join subgroups for focused collaboration, from regional coalitions to thematic working groups (e.g., gender-responsive health systems, clinical care, migrant health, financing for equity). Each subgroup includes discussion boards, a shared resource library, and the option to set up project spaces. Subgroups are member-led and can be open, invite-only, or curated by topic experts, enabling deep, sustained work across disciplines and sectors.
Vetted, high-quality professional opportunities that matter to our field: jobs, consultancies, grants, fellowships, and internships. Opportunities are hand-curated and tagged by sector, skill set, and region. Employers and funders can post directly (with verification), while the network team highlights priority roles and partnership opportunities that align with EQUAL’s mission.
The EQUAL Resource Library is a repository of all things gender and health, crowdsourced from our Members all over the world. Discover data sets, research papers, toolkits, and more that are driving high impact work across sectors. Bridge digital divides and immerse yourself in the wealth of collective knowledge within our global community.
