@womeninGH @krisronsin @caityjackson @desiree_l And it would not have been possible without the hundreds of women that provided in-kind time to build the fastest growing women’s movement in #health. Top of the list is @annvkeeling — she brought unrelenting fighting spirit and a great sense of humor. #WomensMovement

A throw back to a post from five years ago, when we were 💯 volunteer. The power of collective action is unstoppable. As a woman working in #globalhealth, the issues that activated us are even more urgent today, as the push back on women’s rights challenges all of rights.
It’s been an amazing journey these past 5 years! . In this new chapter of @womeninGH w/ our dedicated team & growing community of chapters, supporters, advisors, allies & more:. We will not compromise: we challenge power & privilege for gender equity in health! . #BuildWithWGH.

#GlobalHealth history in the making —- it took a movement of multi-stakeholders to make the world’s first #PandemicAgreement . Governments have adopted this landmark agreement, as it lays the foundation for #pandemic preparedness & response. @WHO thanks 🙏 for the leadership.
Historic decision at #WHA78:. Member States of WHO today formally adopted by consensus the world's first #PandemicAgreement to make the world more equitable and safer from future pandemics . 🔗
