About this video
Dr Clark explains the commitment and actions taken across The Lancet group to advance gender equality. A key driving force is The Lancet Women. Important new developments include the Lancet COVID-19 Commission to review the global responses to the pandemic and the newly created The Lancet Gender and Global Health Commission. As a journal, The Lancet can influence academic, clinical and funding environments, as well as advancing gender equality internally, e.g. through gender balance on editorial boards. Another action of relevance to SDGs is The Lancet SIGHT Commission which works for achieving peaceful societies.
