It's been 25 years since the declaration on the rights of women, was signed in Beijing - and in that time the landscape of health car inequity has changed. To celebrate we created 3 podcasts, in collaboration with The WHO and UN University, as part of the collection on Women’s Health and Gender Inequalities

In these podcasts we'll be hosting conversations between women early in, and some who are more advanced in, their careers - doctors, researchers, legislators and campaigners, all working towards building a future in which women can thrive.

As well as these in depth discussions, you will hear some shorter interviews from experts who have written for the collection. These give you a flavour of the bigger discussions going on in global health when it comes to gender equity - so keep an ear out for those during the discussions.

In this podcast, we're joined by lawyer and activist Hina Jilani, who has been campaigning for women's rights in her native Pakistan for her whole life.

She and her sister set up the first female law firm in the country, she established a refuge for women who were fleeing violence and abuse, she was one of the founders of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, and is now an advocate on the country's Supreme Court. She is also one of The Elders.

Hina talks about her career, how she has pulled the various levers of change - lobbying for legislation, legal challenge, and protest - to improve the lives of women in Pakistan.
