📊 Scotland’s first Care Policy Scorecard from @SWBG is out, and care isn’t making the grade.

Care isn’t a luxury. Poverty shouldn't be the price of caring.

We need serious investment at the Scottish Budget & beyond.

In the paper, she makes the link between the GDP growth-centric model, imperialism, patriarchy and inequality. She highlights the need for alternatives that prioritise wellbeing and social justice.

These include undervaluing of women’s unpaid care and domestic work, and the pursuit of austerity policies that harm women, non- binary people and racialized communities. She calls for approaches that take account of such harms and advance regional ideas of progress. #BeyondGDP

Across the world, there is growing consensus that GDP falls short as the primary metric for measuring social and economic progress. It excludes women's unpaid care and domestic work and doesn't account for inequality or the environmental impacts of economic activities. #BeyondGDP

My critical reflections on the dire shortfalls of #FFD4 for gender justice and rights, but also the opportunities to build on and the steps the @FCDOGovUK must take to advance meaningful change

[Policy & Practice @oxfamgbpolicy]

The Financing for Development conference let us down: now the fight for feminist economic justice continues.
The Seville event disappointed us on gender justice, debt reform and private finance - but it did open up opportunities to build on, says @Rfn100 https://t.co/L5nQEpFdUW

[UK@FfD4 @UKatFfD4]

This was the room today at #FfD4 when @JennyChapman made her big speech.

Ouch...

Maybe if the UK supported the global South in the negotiations, rather than block them at every turn and then claim they didn't, there'd be more interest in what the minister had to say today 🤷‍♂️

[Rachel Noble @Rfn100]

The UK claims to put women and girls at the heart of everything they do. The most meaningful action they can take to advance gender equality is support meaning reform of the global financial architecture #FFD4 #ffd4

[Bond @bondngo]

Civil society calls out the UK government and rich countries for blocking progress on debt reform ahead of FfD4. Read our press release with Bond members attending #FfD4 #FFD4Sevilla : https://t.co/HzZxiP4QEt

REACTION: Financing for Development Conference outcome document a missed opportunity in fight against global poverty and inequality.

Oxfam is going to #FFD4 in Sevilla to urge governments to take more ambitious commitments to end the debt crisis.

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

Today at #WEF25, I challenged the belief that private money shld be involved in healthcare. Private money will never guarantee the right to health for all. The people we @UNAIDS work for will always need public healthcare that is free at the point of use.
