As doctors we were trained to see women as a collection of organs. We weren’t taught to make time for women’s stories, aspirations. To see women in their full humanity. To see medicine and abortion as tools for liberation and advancing human rights. @drtlaleng 👏 #Goalkeepers2030
To eliminate devastating tropical diseases, affected countries must make a serious financial commitment and donors and partners must cede ownership of programs to the people on the ground who understand what needs to be done. https://t.co/WPMshA3pCz via @gatesfoundation
Young women are driving change.
Efforts to protect our planet will only be strengthened as we work to include more women and girls at all levels of the climate fight.

Today, we received Warren Buffett’s annual gift, bringing his contributions to more than $36 billion since 2006. Thank you, Warren for your continued generosity and your belief in the mission of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. https://t.co/jrCBMRSBM4
Dangerous rhetoric is gaining ground among some in the United States, and in many other countries, that people of different races and from different countries are a problem and not an asset. This goes against everything I believe in, and all that the Gates Foundation stands for.
Our democracy lost an amazing resource yesterday. I lost my dear friend and mentor. Grateful for the time we had together. @robj_stein https://t.co/SlYbEchdbB

We are proud to welcome our new board members to the foundation. These individuals will bring diverse, independent perspectives and expertise that strengthen our efforts to create a more equitable world 🌍.
While not surprising, verdicts like this still have the power to profoundly shock. It is well past time for this country to take an honest look at itself and work systematically to dismantle the structures that allow uneven treatment of acts of violence & injustice to persist.
Girin Beeharry was an extraordinary leader and good friend. I’m saddened by his death and inspired by his work to improve lives in India and around the world.
Girin’s belief that every child can learn—and his impatience with the systems that leave so many behind—powered the @gatesfoundation’s global education strategy. He was a brilliant thinker, an inspiring leader, and a cherished friend. I will miss him.
🚨 Today we launch our #Goalkeepers2030 report 🚨 looking at progress Africa has made towards the #SDGs and the fight to end poverty and fight inequality.

In their mission statement the @Guardian says that their work wants to "improve the world, not just critique it" and they want to "bring about a more hopeful future".
👇 This is their front page right now.
I am skeptical that their work "brings about a more hopeful future".
The foundation is supportive of a narrow intellectual property waiver for #COVID19 vaccines during the pandemic. Here's my statement https://t.co/g04zk3Hvbz
Honored to be named a finalist for the @GlblCtzn Prize alongside three women I deeply admire: Angela Merkel, @vonderleyen, and @Winnie_Byanyima.
My most heartfelt thank you to each of you for your tireless leadership every day to build a better world!
