Progress is indeed a collective journey at Women in Global Health. The #WHA77 was yet another key moment where we united with our partners and #WGH country chapters, more strongly than ever before, to fight for our shared values and mandate. It is only together that we advance and reach higher skies!

🤝 Over the past two decades, the discourse on inclusive WASH has evolved to include not only gender and social inclusion but also persons with disabilities (PwDs). Despite this shift, Nepal's WASH policies and interventions have only nominally reflected these changes. In this context, IWMI Nepal conducted qualitative research in two districts—Dailekh in the mid-hills and Sarlahi in the flatlands—to assess WASH-related vulnerabilities faced by women, girls, and marginalized groups, particularly PwDs, in the context of climate change. 📑 Read this recent article by IWMI’s Darshan K., Mamata Aryal, and Sanju Koirala to learn about their findings on what worked and what could be improved in conducting disability-inclusive research. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/gh7rG6PM CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Bagmati Welfare Society Nepal, Global Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies #OneCGIAR

On Sunday's close of the Summit of the Future, world leaders adopted the Pact of the Future as a landmark move towards a more peaceful and inclusive world for future generations. Beyond the Pact, we must continue to make strides toward achieving gender-responsive Universal Health Coverage to shape a future where health systems are inclusive for all. At Women in Global Health, Nigeria and Brazil are leading the way! Both Nigeria and Brazil are making strides towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) with a focus on gender-responsive health systems. In Nigeria, efforts like the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) and community-based health insurance schemes are improving access for women and marginalized groups, while Women in Global Health Nigeria continues to advocate for gender equity in health leadership. In Brazil, despite the progressive Unified Health System (SUS), inequalities persist, especially among black, indigenous, and LGBTQIA+ populations. Women in Global Health Brazil is aligning global and national efforts to promote gender equality and advance women’s leadership in health.

Dear community, We are thrilled to announce that after years of empowering women and raising awareness around health issues on our platform  House of Adanna, we are officially evolving into a full-scale NGO—What Women Want to Know! 🎉 Why the Change? From the very beginning, our mission has been clear: To  close the gender health gap and ensure that women everywhere—especially in underserved regions like  Africa—are empowered with the knowledge, tools, and resources  they need to live healthy, fulfilled lives.  Over the years, your engagement has shown us how much more can be done. Our decision to transform into an NGO was driven by a deeper purpose. While House of Adanna focused on raising awareness, What Women Want to Know will be centred on taking action, improving  healthcare access, advocating for critical issues like the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of women, and so much more. With What Women Want to Know, we’re not just talking about change—we’re making it happen. Our Motivation and Purpose We believe every woman deserves access to quality healthcare and accurate health information, no matter her circumstances or location. By harnessing the power of data and AI, we’ll work to bring life-changing healthcare services to women in Africa, starting with Nigeria and scaling beyond. Our Mission is simple: To close the Gender Health Gap, with action! This transformation wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of YOU, our community. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this incredible journey so far! But we’re only just beginning. Together, we can reshape the future of women’s health across Africa and beyond. Your voice, engagement, and contributions will help us improve  healthcare services, create impactful advocacy that drives  policy changes, and ultimately  transform millions of lives. We’re asking you to stand with us in this new chapter , as we go further to make an even bigger impact on women’s health and well-being. Let’s change the narrative. Let’s continue to make a difference. 💪 #WhatWomenWantToKnow #WomensHealth #GenderHealthGap #HealthForAll #SRHR #WomensWellbeing #Community

I'm pleased to share that a meta-analysis I drafted in early 2023 while working for UNICEF Bangladesh's Child Protection Section has been launched today as part of the #16daysofactivism. It was an absolute pleasure working with Irene Connie Tumwebaze and Natalie McCauley throughout the development of this report. This meta-analysis entitled "Justice, Accountability and Support: Essential Services for survivors of gender-based violence", presents a summary of the key findings from UNICEF, UNFPA, and UN Women's rapid assessments of essential services that respond to #genderbasedviolence conducted between 2021 and 2022 and complements it with secondary desk research. It highlights the gaps in existing services for GBV survivors in Bangladesh and offers concrete recommendations to government agencies and decision-makers, civil society organizations (CSOs), women’s rights organizations (WROs) and UN agencies on how to address these gaps across the #policing, #justice, #health, and #social sectors by implementing mutually-reinforcing policy interventions. The report may be accessed through the link provided in the Press Release. https://lnkd.in/duqKg687 #essentialservices #gbv #sgbv #humanrights

Despite positive strides in female empowerment in #Kenya, the prevalence of gender-based violence and restricted access to education for some women persist, highlighting ongoing challenges. This underscores the critical importance of heightened investment and support. In 2023, #PSKenya's #Accelerate project, funded by the Embassy of Denmark in Kenya, positively impacted 8️⃣2️⃣1️⃣7️⃣ survivors of gender-based violence, providing them with quality health support, linkage to community based organizations for income generating activities and a second chance at life. #EndGBV #BetterHealthandWellbeing #InternationalWomensDay2024
