ABSTRACT
Gender equity, or access to educational and employment opportunities, freedoms, and political representation without discrimination based on gender, is central to human development and achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs; UNGA, 2015). Gender discrimination has resulted in gender imbalances in the health professional workforce in many countries. This imbalance is notable in countries such as Ethiopia where gender discrimination is widespread with limited opportunities for girls to access higher education (Ethiopian Society, 2008).
