Disappointing to see that women's health in Africa and water sanitation (which also affects women and girls more) will face the biggest UK aid cuts. Women and girls are already poorer and lack access to education, health, transport, opportunities and more.
bbc.co.uk
A Foreign Office report shows the biggest cuts will come in Africa with less spent on women's health and water sanitation.

Vanilla farmers in Madagascar, one of the world's poorest countries, are hard hit by aid cuts & devastating cyclones. With Donald Trump's 47% tariff on it about to come in, the international community and UK must make trade fairer and tackle climate crisis.
