The editorial introduces a new series focusing on improving women's health as a step towards achieving global health equity. Despite comprising half of the world's population, women are often overlooked in medical research, with a focus primarily on sexual and reproductive health rather than the broader causes of death such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. The series aims to address the underrepresentation of women in health research, clinical trials, and leadership roles, and to highlight the unique sociocultural factors that affect women's health, such as discrimination and unequal power relationships. Key issues discussed include sex differences in disease, underfunding for women's health conditions, diagnostic delays, and the impact of intimate partner violence. The editorial calls for more inclusive research, better data collection, and increased advocacy for women's health, emphasizing the need for intersectional approaches that consider race, ethnicity, income, education, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The series is intended to spark discussions and contribute to the advancement of women's health globally.The editorial introduces a new series focusing on improving women's health as a step towards achieving global health equity.
