These include undervaluing of women’s unpaid care and domestic work, and the pursuit of austerity policies that harm women, non- binary people and racialized communities. She calls for approaches that take account of such harms and advance regional ideas of progress. #BeyondGDP

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

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 @FCDOGovUK must take to advance meaningful change
The Financing for Development conference let us down: now the fight for feminist economic justice continues. The Seville event disappointed us on gender justice, debt reform and private finance - but it did open up opportunities to build on, says @Rfn100

This was the room today at #FfD4 when @JennyChapman 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 🤷♂️

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
Civil society calls out the UK government and rich countries for blocking progress on debt reform ahead of FfD4. Read our press release with Bond members attending #FfD4 #FFD4Sevilla : https://t.co/HzZxiP4QEt

Nearly 90 billion hours of unpaid care work, without which economic growth would come to a halt, do not count as part of that growth. Professor Naila Kabeer explains why this makes the GDP a flawed...

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 work for will always need public healthcare that is free at the point of use. https://t.co/wGkYVUUZmX
