“It’s a dystopian nightmare.”
That’s what one woman told Devex in response to the news that a man was appointed to be the board chair of Women in Global Health, an international organization aimed at doing quite the opposite — elevating women to positions of influence in global health.
The news that the board appointed Jeffrey Mecaskey as board chair came in the wake of news of the sudden termination last week of Dr. Roopa Dhatt as executive director of the organization. She is a co-founder of the organization and has led it for nine years.
