The Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is a Washington, DC-based organization focused on advancing women’s health through research on sex differences. It identifies clinical and research gaps and raises awareness of diseases, conditions, and life stages that affect women differently or disproportionately. Through its core functions of science, policy, and education, SWHR operates as a national thought leader in the field. With more than 30 years of activity, the group works within the research services sector and maintains a relatively small staff. In 2025, SWHR engaged in international activity related to the United Nations General Assembly Science Summit, partnering with the Global Health Connector to host a women’s health event at UNGA80. This collaboration highlights the organization’s role in bridging research, policy, and education to advance women’s health on a global stage. Its work targets stakeholders involved in women’s health research and policy, offering a forum to address gaps in knowledge and policy that affect outcomes for women.
