What women and girls want matters. They make up 49.7 per cent of the global population, yet women and girls are often ignored in discussions on demographics, with their rights violated in population policies... unfpa.org/events/world-p…

More women, particularly more women of color, should be in rooms where decisions are made—from city councils to the U.S. Congress. By helping women run, win, and govern, we’re paving the way for new perspectives and policies that make our government work better.

It’s a woman’s right to access healthcare & decide if/when she will become a mother. #RoevWade's anniversary reminds us of the fight for reproductive freedom; policymakers must prioritize evidence-based policies for women's autonomy. @PublicHealthMag harvardpublichealth.org/health-policy-…

Economies will also lose the development race if they don’t allow their women, virtually half their population, have the same rights as men do. Gender equality is not only good for women, but it is also good for the society and the economy. blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttal… @worldbank

Women make up the majority of the global health workforce, yet they don't have equal opportunities to lead. We need to break down the barriers and ensure gender equity in leadership positions. Great opinion article about this by @PublicHealthMag: rb.gy/zp9ps #timesup
