BIOGRAPHY

Anita Raj is the Executive Director of the Newcomb Institute and the Nancy
Reeves Dreux Endowed Chair in the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine
at Tulane University. She is a research scientist trained in developmental
psychology and public health with a multi-disciplinary research focus on gender
equity in global health and development. She has led federal grant and
foundation-funded studies on gender theory and measurement science, sexual and
reproductive health, maternal and adolescent health, women’s empowerment, and
gender inequalities, including gender-based violence and child marriage. She has
approximately 300 peer-reviewed publications and is recognized as one of the
most cited social scientists globally. She created and leads the EMERGE
platform, which provides open access evidence-based measures on gender
empowerment, built indicators on gender empowerment in national surveys for
global tracking of SDG5: Building gender equality and empowerment for all women
and girls and offers technical assistance to survey researchers and implementers
working on gender empowerment. She also created and leads the Violence
EXperiences (VEX) study, now operating in California and Louisiana, to assess
state-wide data on experiences of violence, discrimination, and mental health,
to support data-driven policy decision-making on these issues. She has served as
an advisor to UN Women, UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation, the Blue Shield Foundation of California, and the
David and Lucille Packard Foundation on gender equity and health as well as
women’s empowerment issues, and she has been an invited speaker at the U.N.
General Assembly on child, early, and forced marriage. She is also on the
International Advisory Board for Lancet Global Health. She is the Co-Chair of
the Committee on Gender Empowerment, Sociodemographic Development, and
Population Dynamics for the National Academy of Sciences.
