A powerful piece by @WHO's @DrTedros. He explains that vaccine equity isn't just a slogan. It protects all of us, because unchecked spread of the virus spawns variants that can circumvent the vaccine. We really aren't safe until we all are. https://t.co/uyahoHpSVx

Many thanks to @WEConnection member buyers @Ford @IBM @Intel @Merck @ProcterGamble for sharing why and how you source from #WomenOwned suppliers, track and report on progress and encourage your prime suppliers to source more from diverse suppliers as a strategy for success!

Evidence shows that younger children rarely get seriously ill from #COVID19, and their transmission rates are low, but the costs of closing schools are enormous, not only because of lost education but also due to the other harms that then befall children. https://t.co/RKaYMboQ8B

[Julia Gillard @JuliaGillard]

We have lost a global feminist icon in Helen Reddy. For decades her song ‘I am Woman’ has given full-throated voice to our fight for gender equality. Every word still relevant, no message dated, including we have ‘a long, long way to go’. Her legacy will endure. Hear us roar.

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

In 1995 today in Beijing the conference ended was having adopted the most comprehensive declaration ever adopted on gender equality.

[Annie Sparrow @annie_sparrow]

The bidding war by rich countries for #Covid drugs & vaccines drives scarcity--the artificial kind the Market prefers & which accepts winners & losers.
Neither is acceptable in a pandemic.
We all win, or we all lose.
It's time governments put the PUBLIC back into Public Health

[Annie Sparrow @annie_sparrow]

So we should be wary of endorsing or acting on the @nytimes or other 'experts' conclusion that reopening schools will contribute to community transmission. The evidence still isn’t there. This study doesn’t change that. https://t.co/vpJeUxWZGV
