#ICYMI In the latest #RoadtoGEM24 event, Dr. Nancy Birdsall presented "Reproductive Choice and Women's Agency in Developing Countries." In her presentation, Dr. Birdsall explored the impact of exposing women to contraceptives on labor force participation. She additionally focused on how the "reproductive choice ecosystem" contributed to women's decisions regarding the timing of their first births in developing countries. How much do social norms matter compared to other factors in the local RCE, and what are the implications for policy? How do countries rank on the RCE?

Why do we need to invest in Women? According to UNESCO women only hold 42% of leadership positions in Arts and Cultural Councils. This underrepresentation is a powerful reminder that the fight for equality continues. We need to keep pushing for progress and empower women to take their rightful place at the decision-making tables across all fields. #LeadHerUp #WomenLead #SheCan WE LEADActionAid ZimbabweStudents and Youth Working on Reproductive Health Action Team (SAYWHAT)Youth Empowerment and Transformation Trust (YETT)

Women's health goes beyond physical well-being; it encompasses empowerment, choice, and equality. Global issues faced by women range from reproductive rights to maternal health and mental well-being. Raising awareness can be transformative. With the right resources and support, women can lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. For instance, reproductive rights empower women to make informed decisions about their bodies and futures with access to comprehensive healthcare services. Improved access to quality maternal health care can be life-saving. Mental health is another vital aspect. Women often grapple with conditions like depression and anxiety. With proper support, they can overcome these challenges and flourish. Enhancing global healthcare access for women is key. This involves improving affordability, availability, and education, as well as advocating for policies that address women's health needs. Together, by raising awareness and taking action, we can foster a more equitable and healthier world. Join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can make a difference and change the world. Let's embark on this path together. ✨✨✨✨ Follow us on Facebook - https://lnkd.in/gkrvN6w9 Facebook group - https://lnkd.in/g967uXeY #TTA #inclusivesafeplace #womensmonth #empoweredwomen #womenempowerment
