Abstract
This article explores the barriers faced by researchers from the global South in actively participating and presenting at global health conferences. It emphasizes the need for conference organizers and individuals to address these barriers and promote active engagement for participants from the global South. The article suggests various strategies, such as selecting appropriate conference locations, providing funding support, and ensuring diversity and inclusion in speaker selection. It also highlights the importance of genuine empowerment and opportunities for researchers from the global South, rather than tokenism. Ultimately, the article concludes that active engagement is crucial for researchers to have their voices heard and valued in policymaking. [Extracted from the article]
