#Endpolio and fighting #Covid_19 depends on workers like Farima. Thank you @michelzaffran for highlighting the role of female community workers.
I am in awe of health workers like Farima, a @WHO District Polio Officer. Pushing back against #gender barriers & community pressure takes bravery & determination. Taking this stand in order to #EndPolio & fight #COVID19 is the sign of a true humanitarian. #WorldHumanitarianDay

Add your voice. More people need to be released to prevent this virus from spreading. 7 of the 10 largest COVID-19 clusters are jails or prisons. #FreeTheWilsonBrothers #FreeThemAll #CareNotCages #StopTheSpread

Links between women’s reproductive rights and #womensempowerment are indisputable. #Familyplanning can be a critical facilitator of women’s empowerment, or a barrier to the realization of rights. @gatesfoundation @FP2020Global Read more in this report: https://t.co/Zv7Wlt8yp5
