GBV needs to be addressed especially in emergency situations. However, countries in crisis have limited capacity to assess and address GBV!

Join us tomorrow (me & @beingFao ) for #AskkasiitaAndFao from 10Am - 11:30Am as we discuss the ROLES of Young People to #EndCOVID19GBV.

#GenderEquality & Women Empowerment underpins desired socio-economic transformative change in #Africa to #LeaveNooneBehind. Ending #SGBV harmful practices- child early & forced marriages #FGM & femicide will demonstrate acceleration of #ICPD25 & #Beijing25 commitments #ARFSD2020

"Gender is a biological construct. Genes, body features, genetalia and hormones come together, mostly as a male or female phenotype. The Series speaks about gender as a social construct."

Wrapping up a day of wonderful and intellectually-stimulating conversation here at @TheLancet series launch at @BrownSchool! Thanks to everyone who attended, asked questions, and watched the livestream. And a massive shoutout to our phenomenal speakers! 🎉 #GenderNormsandHealth

[STL Gender Norms & Health @GenderNormsSTL]

Who else loved our regional panel? They connected the @TheLancet series' discourse around gender and health to their own professional and personal experiences with activism, medicine, racial equity, intersectionality, immigration, and more. @BrownSchool #GenderNormsandHealth

"Traditionally, medicine was focused on a white male model but our current goal for medical education is to use a more holistic approach" - Victoria Fraser of @WUSTLmed #GenderNormsandHealth

[STL Gender Norms & Health @GenderNormsSTL]

@eloreilly That's an excellent point and we agree completely! Inclusion in data drives a lot of important decision-making. Thank you for engaging with us - we hope you are enjoying these conversations as much as we are! #GenderNormsandHealth

[STL Gender Norms & Health @GenderNormsSTL]

"We have to take an intersectional approach - understand the cultural and generational specificity around gender and health” - @Adrienne_WU @WUSTL #GenderNormsandHealth

Our regional panel ties the @TheLancet series on Gender Equality, Norms, and Health to their work in #StLouis

“If you don’t have these conversation about gender norms and stereotypes, you can get a lot of good work done but you don’t get to the core of the problem” - @Dabente of @casadesaludstl #GenderNormsandHealth

[STL Gender Norms & Health @GenderNormsSTL]

@BasantBanna Great question! Data from the MENA region were used throughout the @Lancet series, but the papers don't focus specifically on that area.

@karlpopegmailc1 Thanks for your fantastic question! The answer is "messy" and multifaceted. It requires interdisciplinary work between policy, communities, families, and individuals.

“You can empower women as much as you want, but if they’re back in a system that is patriarchal, then that is still unequal” - Jessica Levy (@BrownSchool) #GenderNormsandHealth
