Addressing discrimination and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is a complex and ongoing process that requires sustained effort and commitment from all levels of society. While laws and policies are in place to protect against discrimination and promote DE&I, implementation and enforcement can be inconsistent, and there is still much progress to be made. Governments can play a critical role in preventing discrimination and advancing DE&I by taking actions such as: * Strengthening and enforcing anti-discrimination laws and policies in areas such as employment, housing, education, and healthcare. * Providing funding and support for programs and initiatives that empower marginalized communities and address systemic barriers. * Collecting and analyzing data on discrimination and inequality to inform policy and program development. * Promoting representation and inclusion in government, including in leadership roles and decision-making processes What are the exactly measurements that Government is doing to prevent the women discrimination increase even further? Are DE&I policies a reality? Or is it just a loud policy ? Is this policy really implemented in the different environments, organizations, and systems? How government is measuring the compliance on it? All of them are the questions that we should be force to tackle and generate a government approach to force them to the compliance in this pointent approach to force them to the compliance in this point How government is measuring the compliance on it? All of them are the questions that we should be force to tackle Finally, promote a government approach to improve these powerful policies and ensure their implementation and compliance.

“Avoidable bed days are a sign of a broken health care system.” This article draws on an excellent point of the need for more behavioral health beds. Enacting measures such as section 40 will only increase the strain on healthcare systems and therefore further complicate the already challenging nature of discharge plans for these populations. Efforts should rather focus on better options and processes for discharge planning for populations with mental health and behavioral needs that delay or prevent discharge back into the community independently. As an occupational therapist, I hold a role in discharge planning and experience the efforts that hospitals are already enacting to discharge patients once they are medically stable to avoid unnecessary stays. This is not a financial burden that should fall on hospitals. The roots and impact of this issue are beyond healthcare and have implications for social justice and societal wellbeing as well.

Does death and dying form part of your everyday conversation? Chances are, it doesn't. But we think it should. Maddy Thomson, our consultant nurse for palliative medicine and clinical lead for end of life care, shared her thoughts on this recently at the latest TEDxWinchester event. As part of her presentation she asked the audience: "Why is it that we struggle to plan and treat our deaths as preciously as we treat our lives? How do we struggle to respect and provide consideration?" You can read more about her TEDx talk at https://lnkd.in/eK_Wyrva
