Cholera outbreaks continue to threaten communities, but it's not just vaccine shortages that make it difficult to control outbreaks - it's #ClimateChange , #Migration , & more: npr.org/2024/03/07/123… #VaccineShortages #GlobalHealth #Epidemiology #CommunityHealth#HealthSystems

What can we do to amplify the role of #IndigenousWomen in #Conservation ?
Individuals, local conservation orgs, governments, & development organizations have a role to play in actively engaging indigenous women in environmental stewardship. bit.ly/3PvbXgQ #EarthDay

By conducting gender analyses, we can better understand how various factors impact climate resilience. For instance, the role of women in climate action is often overlooked: thecommonwealth.org/news/blog-why-… #EarthDay #GenderAnalyses #ClimateResilience #ClimateChange

Happy #EarthDay ! Whether it's reducing plastic waste or supporting renewable energy, every action counts. Together, we can build a brighter, greener future for generations to come. 🌍♻️ #ClimateAction #WIHER

The path toward #SustainableChange starts with ensuring the individuals we work with are at the heart of interventions. Through time-tested approaches, including iDARE, we bring all perspectives to the table to co-create tools, resources, & solutions that drive real change.

While they may work on different projects, our team in #Uganda appreciates the moments they can work together when the opportunity arises. From L to R: Harriet Komujuni (USAID SBCA), Emmanuel Ssegawa (various NTD focused projects), & Rebecca Atamba ( #BusinessDevelopment ).

#SustainableDevelopment #Nigeria

At WI-HER, we link community voices with government leadership, such as debrief meetings with local political leadership, which increases the sustainability of the work through multi-level engagement, skills building, & locally relevant planning. #CommunityVoices #LocalPlanning

How can we support women & #Youth -owned businesses? By understanding the barriers they experience. In #FoodSystems , it is vital to understand how women & youth business owners make decisions, navigate work burdens, & more before designing an intervention: bit.ly/3JmsEY9

“As ladies, we are the ones who change the community. How can we change the community without education?” Targeted #HealthEducation sessions are critical to address fears and misconceptions about health issues, like neglected tropical diseases: trachomacoalition.org/news-blogs/wom…

WI-HER is proud to volunteer our time & resources to amplify the work of CREED - a non-profit dedicated to advancing racial & ethnic equity in our organizations. By initially focusing on change within, we can have a larger impact in our #GlobalDevelopment efforts.

Additional investments in women are critical on the path to equality, #SustainableDevelopment , peace, & democracy. By building awareness about the issues and injustices that women face in FCT #Nigeria , @nigeriaihp supports women as active agents of change.

#Gender is a main social determinant of #Health , in part because unconscious gender biases can affect patient care. In this Int Journal for Equity in Health piece, the authors review a variety of interventions that can reduce or overcome inequities in healthcare: equityhealthj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Improved outcomes only last if the most marginalized & vulnerable are included in the development & implementation of solutions. More on the importance of #InclusiveDevelopment to ensure sustainability: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
