The International Women's Health and Human Rights course provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges women face in maintaining health and managing their lives in the face of societal pressures and obstacles. The course covers a wide range of issues, including son preference, education, HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, violence in the home and in war and refugee circumstances, women's work, sex trafficking, and aging. It also emphasizes the importance of economic, social, political, and human rights factors in women's health and well-being. One of the reasons I took this course is because I believe that everyone has a significant role to play in ensuring that women's rights are respected and protected. Accordingly, this engaging and interactive course has provided me with a valuable opportunity to deepen my knowledge and skills in promoting and defending women's rights. More than anything else, the course has opened my eyes to a lot of issues that women are facing in our society by virtue of being female- from birth to their aging phase.

The potential of the world’s more than 1.1 billion girls is limitless. But as we creep closer to the 2030 deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals, the world continues to fail girls.   Girls account for more than 70 percent of new adolescent HIV infections. They are almost twice as likely as boys to miss out on #education or training. And child marriage remains widespread, with approximately one in five girls globally married before the age of 18. Across the world, hard-won gains for gender equality are being erased by a war on the fundamental rights of women and girls, endangering their lives, restricting their choices, and limiting girls’ futures.   The theme of this year’s International Day of the Girl Child is ‘Girls’ Vision for the Future’.   Girls already have a vision of a world where they can thrive. They are working to turn that vision into action, and demanding their voices be heard. It is high time we listened. We must provide girls with a seat at the table, through education, and by giving them the resources they need and opportunities to participate and lead.    The courage, hope and determination of girls are a force to be reckoned with. It is time for the world to step up and help transform their vision and aspirations into reality.   - United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on the International Day of the Girl Child 🖇 https://lnkd.in/gn6uQwz

Today, on Women's International Day, we commemorate the remarkable achievements of women worldwide and reaffirm our commitment to gender equality and women's empowerment. This year's theme, "Breaking the Bias," urges us to challenge stereotypes, smash barriers, and create a more inclusive world for all. At Bayer we recognize the invaluable contributions of women in driving innovation, fostering diversity, and shaping our global community. From leadership roles to frontline positions, women play an indispensable role in every aspect of our organization. As we celebrate this day, let us not only reflect on the progress made but also acknowledge the work that still lies ahead. We must continue to advocate for equal opportunities, amplify women's voices, and champion diversity in all its forms. Together, let's empower, support, and uplift women everywhere, not just today, but every day. Happy Women's International Day! #WomensDay #BreakingTheBias #GenderEquality #EmpowerWomen #DiversityandInclusion #IWD2024 #TeamBayer

🌍 Transforming Global Health: A Thriving Perspective from a Grounds Up Advocate 🌍 In the fight against HIV and TB, we must rethink our approach. The term "missing cases" unfairly places the burden on individuals rather than addressing systemic issues. It's time to shift our focus to creating inclusive, equitable health programs that truly serve those in need. 🔹 Decentralize and Integrate: Bring diagnostic and treatment services closer to communities through mobile clinics and community health workers. 🔹 Cultural Sensitivity: Design programs that reflect the cultural, social, and population preferences of the communities they serve. 🔹 Empowerment (not 131 years but now!): Support young women, adolescents, and children by promoting gender equality and protecting child rights. 🔹 Community-Driven (not donor driven) Data: Use simplified, real-time data systems designed with community input to ensure effective, timely interventions. By adopting a multi-faceted approach and leveraging the strengths of various stakeholders, we can make significant progress even in a challenging funding environment. Let's work together to create a healthier, more equitable world! #GlobalHealth #HIV #TB #HealthEquity #CommunityEngagement #PublicHealth (AI editing and insights support integrated with raw, unique content.
