Our newest preprint shows funding levels for 🇨🇦 women’s health research at CIHR is still ~7% with ~60% of funds going to breast & gyne cancers or pregnancy research. Women’s health is more than 👙 medicine. Top GBD for women has low funding across 13 y. More after it finds a home

@CAMHnews @CIHR_IRSC Congrats Laura! This is awesome

Ford govt REFUSES to declare Intimate Partner Violence an epidemic after telling us on April 10 they would.

WOMEN members of the Ford govt should be additionally ashamed! WOMEN survivors and WOMEN working on the frontlines of IPV have made it clear.

What more does Ford need?!

Medication responses can differ significantly between males & females.

Across #Canada, less than 6% of federal funding across 11 years went to women’s health research. We need gender & sex equity/parity in research to deliver equitable healthcare.
