Highlights
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the growing calls to decolonise and address reports of structural racism within humanitarian, development, international aid, and global health agencies are opening doors for uncomfortable but important conversations [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]

Summary
Addressing power asymmetries in global health: Imperatives in the wake of the COVID19 pandemic a1111111111 a1111111111 a1111111111 a1111111111 a1111111111. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19A) pUan:dPelmeaisce, nthoeteBthlaactkCOLiVveIDs MÀ a1tt9ehraasnbdeendefinedasCoro Women in Global Health movements, and ongoing calls to decolonise global health have all created space for uncomfortable but important conversations that reveal serious asymmetries of power and privilege that permeate all aspects of global health. At both the individual and organisational level, we emphasise the need to hold ourselves, our governments, and global health organisations accountable to these goals, and especially for governance structures and processes that reflect a commitment to real change. By putting a spotlight on coloniality and existing inequalities, the COVID-19 pandemic inspires calls for a more equitable world and for a decolonised and decentralised approach to global health research and practice, one that moves beyond tokenistic box ticking about diversity and inclusion into real and accountable commitments to transformative change.AU : Anabb
