Co-Impact’s Post

Amazing read and concrete, tangible calls to action to better support and amplify the incredible efforts of female Community Health Workers! Congrats Last Mile Health and Integrate Health and for sharing Co-Impact. Here are some of my favorite recommendations: ✅ Women community health workers’ voices are systematically incorporated into the decision-making process for planning and implementing health services. ✅ Community health worker training curriculum includes modules on gender sensitivity and safety to prevent and respond to gender-based violence ✅ Support structures and networks are established for the professional development of women community health workers. ✅ National policies are implemented to ensure women community health workers maintain a fair workload and are not burdened with additional responsibilities beyond their roles. #CHWS #WomenDeliverHealth #GenderEquity #SupportWomenleaders

Today, on World Health Day, SIW wants to spotlight a critical challenge: the undervaluation of women in health and care work. Despite making up 67% of the workforce, women are often underpaid and overworked. The WHO's recent report calls for urgent action to improve conditions, ensure equal pay, and recognize all health and care work. Join us in advocating for fair treatment and investment in health care, driving progress towards gender equality and better health outcomes for all.

Menstrual health is a fundamental human right The World Health Organization (WHO) has regional websites for Africa, Americas, South-East Asia, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean, and Western Pacific. There are numerous countries within each region. Menstrual health is recognized as a fundamental human right, and a resolution was adopted by the United Nations Human Rights Council to promote menstrual hygiene management (MHM). The resolution calls for universal access to affordable and safe menstrual hygiene products, improvement of water and sanitation facilities, elimination of taxes on menstrual products, and integration of MHM into national policies. WHO/Europe has been organizing workshops to strengthen skills and capacities in WASH provisions in schools under the Protocol on Water and Health. These efforts aim to create inclusive learning environments that uphold human rights and promote gender equality. https://lnkd.in/e7mRNhEZ #PublicHealth #Europe #StayInformed #StayEmpowered

🌍 Today, on #WorldPopulationDay, we celebrate the power of inclusive data to build a resilient and equitable future for all. Thirty years ago, at the International Conference on Population Development, we committed to putting people at the centre of development. Thanks to improvements in data collection and analysis, we've made significant strides in reproductive care, maternal health, and gender equality. However, the journey is far from over. Our latest research highlights growing inequalities in healthcare access, especially among the world's most marginalized communities. As half the world heads to the polls in 2024, it is crucial that we use reliable, inclusive data to inform policies and create more resilient societies. Data is more than numbers; it is the key to understanding and addressing the diverse experiences of humanity. By counting everyone, we can ensure that no one is left behind and truly fulfil the ICPD’s vision of a peaceful and prosperous future. Let’s continue to champion inclusive data collection and use it to promote progress for all. Together, we are #8BillionStrong. This #WorldPopulationDay, get all the facts from United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA): unf.pa/emb #PopulationDay #InclusiveData #ICPD30 #UNFPA

Existing inequalities in health service access are worsened by social exclusion. Overcoming these hurdles calls for innovative, inclusive approaches that consider gender equity and social inclusion (GESI). By acknowledging the complexity of human experiences and the ever-changing nature of these environments, we can craft strategies that effectively reach the most vulnerable populations and sustain progress toward NTD elimination.
