Today is Equal Pay Day! March 15th marks how much longer, on average, women must have worked beyond 2021 to match what men made last year. While the average pay disparity decreased, the salary inequality experienced by women of color increased last year. https://t.co/RIxFx3vHQo

Today Chile 🇨🇱 becomes the 31st country in the world to adopt marriage equality, and by a wide legislative margin.🥳

This recognition of the rights of same-sex couples is the product of years of sustained advocacy by Chilean activists. Learn more @hrw👉https://t.co/BSzidmg7HR

The #ClimateCrisis is one of extreme - potentially fatal - inequality. #PM568

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Human caused.
Human crisis.
Human consequences.

The climate emergency is about people. It was created by humans, and it will be the most vulnerable who bear the cost.

Displacement is one of its most devastating human consequences.

#VaccineInequity has significantly contributed to the emergence of the #OmicronVariant 🦠 #PM568

[Context News @ContextNewsroom]

🚨 The #OmicronVariant could spread COVID-19 faster than ever.

🗣️ Scientists have linked it to vaccine inequity, with Africa being the least immunised continent partly due to vaccine hoarding by rich nations.

Will Omicron convince them to change? We answer the key questions. 🧵

Statelessness affects children’s access to medical care, education, and future employment. Addressing this will present challenges, particularly in rural and remote areas, but it is necessary to protect future generations. #PM568

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Preventing statelessness among children, through birth registration and other measures, is a top priority.

Every child has the right to a nationality. #IBelong #EndStatelessness

The #pandemic has caused intense #trauma for millions of children and adolescents, particularly those who have lost a parent or caregiver. Moving forward from the #COVID19Pandemic, child mental health providers must be #traumainformed. #PM568

New findings showed wide racial disparities among #children whose #caregivers have died during the #pandemic. https://t.co/ooDs40ZNsE

As we Americans increasingly have the option for booster shots, nations across the world still do not have a sufficient supply for the first round. #PM568 #VaccineEquity #VaccinEquity

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Despite commitments to #VaccinEquity, several nations still don’t have enough #COVID19 vaccines for their own 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️. The 🌍 is left asking: Where are the doses?

Not only is Moderna’s focus on profits over health gravely unethical, but it also jeopardizes #VaccineEquity. #pm568

A historic, much-anticipated day after 100 years of malaria vaccine research! #pm568

[WHO Ghana @WHOGhana]

#MalariaVaccine at last!!
@WHO recommends widespread use of the RTS,S/AS01 (RTS,S) malaria vaccine among children at risk.

This is a historic moment in the fight against #Malaria for children in #Ghana 🇬🇭.

Vaccine equity is an interesting and key piece in the debate on vaccine mandates, including for international travel. Who will have the right to travel? Whose rights will be restricted due to inequity? #PM568

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

#COVID19 is still raging, but people are dying at two different rates. In rich countries with high vaccination coverage, case fatality rates are dropping. In poor countries that don’t have access, both cases and deaths are surging. #VaccinEquity

It’s also important to note that the “correlations between coronavirus severity and weight are also tied to racial and ethnic inequality.” #PM565

Most coronavirus deaths occurred in countries where majority of adults are overweight https://t.co/Jqiwp492Ou

It's #CervicalCancer Awareness Month!

Cervical cancer could be the first cancer EVER in the world to be eliminated, if
