"As you know, today is #InternationalWomensDay. In many ways, women have suffered disproportionately from the #COVID19 pandemic. We have seen appalling increases in violence against women, and reduced access to services for sexual and reproductive health"-@DrTedros

The W&HI is honored to be a sponsor at Harvard Chan's IWD in a time of Covid-19 event today. Covid 19 dramatically magnified pervasive gender disparities in health and wellbeing. Gender inequalities have now a visibility they did not have before the pandemic #IWD21 #HealthJustice

5 years after the @TheLancet Commission on Women and Health report was published, our messages still ring true. #Women's work is vital to health, but it is undervalued and unrecognized. This new editorial raises the issue again: Do we care about who cares?

Dr. Ana Langer discusses conflicting advice on vaccinations for pregnant women, but it isn't as conflicting as we think. The CDC and the WHO agree women at high risk due to important exposure or comorbidities should get the vaccine.

A failure to meet #qualityofcare standards or a violation of #humanrights standards? There is currently no agreement on which #newborn care practices might be classified as mistreatment. This study from @WHO and @HRPresearch is an important conversation:
