This week, we were pleased to work with @liz_sugg to ask the Government about their commitment to Women’s Health Hubs in the renewed Women’s Health Strategy. Read the RCOG’s priorities for the strategy: brnw.ch/21wYuYJ


Desperately sad to hear that Helen Newlove has died. Helen was so wonderful, warm, brave and plain speaking. She suffered the tragedy of watching her beloved husband, Garry, being murdered by thugs - and then turned that experience into a second life of service. Service to her community, to the country and to Parliament - but, most of all, service to victims of crime to make sure they got a proper hearing and a better deal. It was a privilege to meet her and an honour to help her into a position where she could dedicate herself to the service of others. My thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with Helen’s husband, Paul, and her daughters, Zoe, Danielle and Amy. Helen leaves a legacy that they - and we all - can be proud of.


Gender equality in the UK and around the world is stalling and in some cases, reversing. Who will stand with girls to protect their hard-fought rights? Because with some amazing celebrities, we're backing girls. 💙 standard.co.uk/news/uk/sarina… @theLDNstandard

The @GatesFoundation’s inspiring $912m pledge to the @GlobalFund is a huge boost in the fight against HIV, TB & malaria. An institution that has saved 70m+ lives. Fully funding it means protecting lives, livelihoods and economies. #ZeroMalaria #StopAtNothing

Almost 1.5 million women are thought to have been accosted since the Protection from Sex-based Harassment in Public Act passed in September 2023 The guidance for police & prosecutors on how to enforce it has not yet been issued - this needs to happen asap thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…








We are excited to announce that @DieneKeita of #Guinea was appointed today by the @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres as Executive Director of @UNFPA. We look forward to supporting the new @UNFPAChief towards advancing the #GlobalGoals and ensuring rights and choices for all.


Proud of our YAP member Neisha, who is advocating for reproductive agency for young people. Young leaders aren’t just speaking up about SRHR, they are pushing for action! 💪


As declines in fertility rates make headlines, women + young people are often blamed for demographic shifts. This week in parliament we discussed the real fertility crisis - a lack of reproductive agency. @SarahChampionMP @meralhece @LeighInghamMP @FCDOGH @APPGGlobalSRHR
