This week, governments adopted the historic #PandemicAgreement at #WHA78. But as @snagesh2 & @MagdaNRobalo argue, a treaty that sidelines gender is a treaty half-written. The true test lies ahead: will implementation center gender equity, SRHR & women’s leadership? Explore their thoughts: bit.ly/436PpKu

Women make up 70% of the global health workforce but face the dual challenge of doing more with less and enduring underinvestment in gender equality. IIn their @devex op-ed, @snagesh2 & @MagdaNRobalo discuss how aid cuts and rollbacks in #GenderEquality are straining health systems, disproportionately impacting women, and call for urgent investment in women’s leadership: bit.ly/4ljSTQZ

Women health care workers are being asked to do more with less as cuts to aid threaten health care systems — while facing systemic underinvestment in gender equality in the sector.

Health Workers Week arrives this year amidst a stark reality for women in healthcare: a double bind of escalating demands and dwindling resources, exacerbated by deeply entrenched gender inequality, write Dr. @snagesh2 & Magda Robalo in this opinion. devex.com/news/opinion-women…

In this radical new reality, meant to demoralise, demean, and reverse the progress of decades, the Pandemic Treaty provides an opportunity to demonstrate that, with or without the US, there is global solidarity when it comes to global health.

#WomensDay | On International Women’s Day, commentaries on some of the key issues in the gender space. In an era of evidence-based policies, invisibility in data can ultimately lead to policy invisibility. ✍️ Gargi Sridharan, M. Suresh Babu trib.al/KMzisCt
Smoke and mirrors — women’s participation in employment

Smoke and mirrors — women’s participation in employment

February 6: Zero Tolerance for FGM. Every girl has the right to grow up free from violence! ✊💜 In 2025, more than 4.4 million girls - about 12,200 each day - are at risk of female genital mutilation. 🚸 FGM is a long-standing practice in many places, but human rights make clear: nothing can justify harm. ⚖️ Laws exist. Commitments have been made. They must be upheld. 🚨
