@theGFF side meeting at #WD2023: It’s hard to think of achieving improved RMNCH and gender equality without the bedrock of country-led primary health care.

@theGFF side meeting at #WD2023. Youth representative Mariama recommends creating evidence for advocacy - with stories, not just numbers @OptionsinHealth @E4AMamaYeAfrica

[Joanne Hemmings @JoBoHem]

Enthusiastic welcome for Malala at #WD2023 - it’s easy to feel ‘we are the good guys. But we’re all failing this generation of girls. They’re too often an afterthought’ @MalalaFund

[Joanne Hemmings @JoBoHem]

There is a saying in Ukraine that when Putin attacked, he only calculated men in the army. He didn’t count the women who would fight for their country. #WD2023 plenary

[Joanne Hemmings @JoBoHem]

Message from DG WHO to #WD2023 - health systems play a critical role in ending harmful gender norms. WHO believes in a world where women lead change. @OptionsinHealth

[Joanne Hemmings @JoBoHem]

#WD2023 There is no formula for working respectfully with girls. It’s deeply relational work. Think about girls as your fellow comrades. Don’t just extract. @Purposeful_org

[Joanne Hemmings @JoBoHem]

Amazing energy and atmosphere at the first full day of #womendeliver - what a joy to be among 6000 feminists from every corner of the globe!

Bright & early @purposeful_org event at #womendeliver, challenging us to re-think how we recognise and resource girls’ activism, with a great youth panel.

[The Girl Generation @TheGirlGen]

As we kick off #16DaysOfActivism, we want to celebrate Muteno for abandoning the practice of cutting girls last week in Suswa, through the support of @Amref_Kenya. "I abandon this practice in front of all these witnesses and surrender my tools to Chief Reson." #EndFGM #TGGGrants

[The Girl Generation @TheGirlGen]

#ALMGrants supports grassroots women-led, girl-led, women’s rights, and youth led organisations and activists to #EndFGM

[Joanne Hemmings @JoBoHem]
