Today at #WEF25, I challenged the belief that private money shld be involved in healthcare. Private money will never guarantee the right to health for all. The people we UNAIDS Global work for will always need public healthcare that is free at the point of use. x.com/Winnie_Byanyim…

The UK claims to put women and girls at the heart of everything they do. The most meaningful action they can take to advance gender equality is support meaning reform of the global financial architecture #FFD4 #ffd4

This was the room today at #FfD4 when Jenny Chapman made her big speech. Ouch... Maybe if the UK supported the global South in the negotiations, rather than block them at every turn and then claim they didn't, there'd be more interest in what the minister had to say today 🤷‍♂️

My critical reflections on the dire shortfalls of #FFD4 for gender justice and rights, but also the opportunities to build on and the steps the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office must take to advance meaningful change

Across the world, there is growing consensus that GDP falls short as the primary metric for measuring social and economic progress. It excludes women's unpaid care and domestic work and doesn't account for inequality or the environmental impacts of economic activities. #BeyondGDP
