About the ICFP Power Shifting Subcommittee
You can help shift power and accelerate efforts to advance equity in global health.
Colonialism and its legacy are part of our shared human history. The social structures, funding models, and knowledge generation practices that define global health are rooted in a history of inequality, exploitation, and racism. For the community that focuses on populations, this is also a history of coercion, population control, and eugenics. This history may not be un-done and prior calls to challenge this legacy, have fallen short. There is a growing awareness and pressure to address this as the world moves to ‘de-colonize’ global health.
