Every second we lose someone when science & public health can do better. That is why

A reminder: 'Women don’t need to find a voice, they have a voice'
Also a reminder: When women use their voice, don’t get uncomfortable, instead listen, learn and grow.
Also if their voice is louder than yours, the real test is if you can stand with them - not minimize them.
Hearing from Dr. Lia Tadesse (

Ethiopia: "We are being all tested -- women are at the forefront of the response, but face the great burden, including economic and violence. We have been aiming for UHC through PHC & gender responsive health systems"
#GenderUHC
Lots of talk about transforming power in
#globalhealth
. Little action.
Window dressing. Lip Service. Tokenism.
Look at:
-Who is invited?
-Who is seen?
-Who is heard?
-Who is funded?
-Who is respected?
-Who is exploited?
What keeps me grounded during these times?
Being a health provider & 🚺 ◼️advocate. It’s a privilege that I dont always acknowledge.
And having a mission (w/ a team)
@womeninGH
that get’s why we cant separate power, privilege, gender equity & health makes the universe whole 🌎.
Our passion, vision for greater equity can lead us to unimaginable crossroads

Today I gave my first graduation keynote. Honored to have been voted by the

graduates to speak to them on power, privilege and global health.
"I want to stress that this

has to be a break with the past. It is time to reconsider what we value" ...
I joined

advocates from around the world at

— using these convenings as “refueling stations” to power the women’s rights & human rights movements, so we can continue our decades long persistence to achieve equitable, juste, humane societies.

"Everyone has the power to create gender-equitable environments & that begins with every committee, every group, every opportunity that you have control over designing"
