The theme of International Women’s Day 2020:‘I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights’ is aligned with the Global commitment of achieving the SDG related to Gender Equality by 2030. Men and women share the same right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. Women are disadvantaged due to social, cultural, political and economic factors that directly influence their health and impede their access to health-related information and care. This review attempts to create a better understanding of gender equity issues among the scientific society. We have utilized the information available online at portals of various international organizations working in this field, journal papers and other resources. We need to work together to find out the best methods for addressing these inequalities so that the Global development is on the right track.
