International Gender Equality Prize Finland

Insightful exchange with @FinlandUN and others on the effects of conflict on women’s health. Too often, they pay the highest price. How women and girls fare during conflict must be shaped not by the brutality of the attacks, but by the priorities we as set in response. #CSW70

We had the honor to have Masha Foundation being represented in Finland's National #CSW70 side-event in New York in a very prestigious company! The event highlighted how health consequences in conflicts affect women and girls disproportionally.

Under attack: Gendered consequences for health in conflicts. #CSW70

At #CSW, SRSG Pramila Patten, Chair of the UN Action Network, joined Finland, UNFPA, Ukraine & Panama to stress that attacks on health services are attacks on women’s bodies & futures – and to urge sustained, survivor-centred care. #EndCRSV @MFA_Ukraine @FinlandUN
