That’s a wrap!
Our “#Gender and #Malaria” digital campaign officially came to an end yesterday. Today, we want to thank every one of you for your #engagement throughout this journey.
Let’s stay mobilized for #health services that are truly inclusive, and driven by everyone.
When it comes to #malaria, silence is no longer an option.
Join us in listening to Dr. Kouadio-Tiacoh Diane who is a GP at the Treichville Hospital who is sheding light on the realities of #women and malaria.

@EngagendShare Women’s leadership is not optional — it’s essential. When women decide, communities thrive. Which action should we prioritize to make their voices truly count?
@EngagendShare Deeply rooted social norms, unequal power relations, and the belief that leadership and decision-making belong to men remain major barriers. In many communities, women’s voices are still undervalued, their mobility restricted, and their time absorbed by unpaid care work.
@EngagendShare A dedicated budget line for gender and community leadership would be my priority. Without financing women’s leadership, strategies remain intentions, not results.
As highlighted in the RBM Partnership report, integrating a #gender approach in the fight against #malaria strengthens young women's #leadership.
Question : If you were the Minister of #Health, what line of the budget would you allocate to implement a gender-specific strategy
@EngagendShare Speaking up is power. 🗣️
When a young woman claims better access to care, she’s not asking for more — she’s strengthening the health of her entire community.
Voices drive change.
Yesterday, we talked about action and training. Today, we are moving on to speaking out. Expressing specific needs is not a complaint; it is a strategy.
When a #young#woman asks for better access to care, she is acting for her own #health, but also for her entire community.
@EngagendShare Prendre la parole, c’est déjà agir. 🗣️
Les réalités vécues par les jeunes femmes sont des données clés pour des politiques de santé plus justes et plus efficaces.
Écouter, intégrer, agir : c’est ainsi que la lutte contre le paludisme progresse pour toutes et tous. 💪🏾🦟
@EngagendShare Belle conclusion 👏🏾
Reconnaître les femmes comme premières soignantes et actrices clés de la lutte antipaludique, c’est passer des constats à l’action.
Leur leadership communautaire est un levier puissant pour une santé plus juste, plus efficace et plus durable.
We end this week with a strengthened conviction that the fight against #malaria must no longer ignore the issue of #gender.
End of week question: What concrete action could we take in our communities to ensure that the work of women as "primary caregivers" is finally recognized?
Last week, we highlighted the fact that severe #malaria cases have increased by 90% in Côte d’Ivoire. To understand this reality, it is imperative to look beyond medical data and examine social realities.
❓ Question: Which obstacle that limit women is the most significant?
After stressing yesterday the urgency of integrating the #gender dimension into the fight against #malaria, today we are highlighting the immense opportunity this represents.
Question: How can the gender approach curb malaria?
#Speakupafrica#VoixEssentielles#Engageandshare
En Côte d'Ivoire, the data highlight the need to increase logistical efforts, focused on the most vulnerable populations.
Given that a quarter of households (25.3%) lack sufficient nets, what is the main barrier preventing these households from achieving ideal coverage?
Those data show that more efforts must be made to fight malaria. How can we effectively do that if we ignore the vulnerabilities of half of the population?
In your opinion, what limits the availability of women-specific data in the fight against malaria ?How can we address this?
Week 1: The numbers speak to us!
Behind these 12.7 million cases are lives at risk. Fighting #malaria during pregnancy is a danger for #women and babies.
What do you think is missing for 100% of pregnant women in Côte d'Ivoire to benefit from IPT and ITN?
Share your ideas !
Commit with us until January 4th 2025 for our 1-Month Digital Campaign on #Gender and #Malaria.
As part of the 16 Days of Activism, we wish to loudly and clearly highlight the importance of an inclusive malaria control effort that takes into account the needs of #women.
