WILAN Global Founder, Abosede George-Ogan, emphasizes that our partnership represents a significant step in advancing women’s leadership in Nigeria’s health sector. She underscores how equipping women with the skills, networks, and confidence they need not only invests in individuals but also strengthens health systems, improves community outcomes, and paves the way for women to lead transformative change across the nation.

As the world marks International Women's Day, experts believe more investment is needed in women-driven initiatives to drive inclusion. Our MD/CEO, Dr. Tinuola A., joined CNBC Africa for this discussion. Dr. Tinuola emphasized the need to recognise the significant contributions of women and re-evaluate their roles in various spheres of life. "From the women in our workplaces to those in our communities, including our mothers and those we see on the streets, their impact on the economy is undeniable," Dr. Tinuola noted. Highlighting the challenges faced by women, particularly in healthcare, Dr. Tinuola underscored the importance of addressing these issues. "In healthcare, where women often serve as primary caregivers, addressing disparities in access and empowerment is critical. By prioritising primary healthcare and ensuring equitable access, we empower women to address health issues at the grassroot level, preventing complications and promoting overall well-being. I believe it's time to harness the full potential of women and drive meaningful change across sectors," she remarked.

Diversity Equity Inclusion & Belonging Advocate | Gender Equality in Global Health Workforce | Women's Leadership Champion
I am excited to share that I will be co-facilitating a workshop on "Disrupting Harmful Narratives" during the WomenLift Health Global Conference in Tanzania 6-8 April. Join our workshop on April 7th. Organizations perpetuate harmful narratives which disproportionately disadvantage women. Disrupting harmful narratives is gender transformational. These narratives include: 👉 Women are too emotional. What if leadership embraced emotion? 👉 Women don't ask, you must negotiate, for salary or promotion. What if we didn’t have to negotiate? 👉 Conflict is negative and should be avoided. What if we saw conflict as an opportunity and opened ourselves to different perspectives? 👉 You must be authentically a woman or authentically a leader, but you cannot be both. Women face a double-bind dilemma which forces them to choose between acting like a ‘woman’ or acting like a ‘leader'. What if we didn’t have to choose? 👉 You have imposter syndrome; calling out women women for doubting their accomplishments, when these feelings are a result of systemic bias and exclusion. What if we stopped telling ourselves this? What if we called out the system? Come join us as we unpack these narratives in small groups.

There's been a big uptick in the number of folks - and UN agencies - working on the #care #economy in recent years. Which is why last year the UN Deputy Secretary-General called for a common framework for addressing care across the UN system. I'm honoured to have been part of this landmark effort and co-authored the first-ever UN Policy Guidance on Transforming Care Systems. I'm even more delighted that it is out in the world today! 🌟 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dQA4kNjB 📰 This was a truly joint effort between UN Women, International Labour Organization, UNDP, ECLAC and United Nations Human Rights with inputs from across the entire UN system and external experts. And of course under the leadership of the UN Deputy Secretary-General. The paper provides UN Agencies with a bold vision and a roadmap for getting there. It sets out common definitions, principles, approaches, analytical and normative frameworks, policy options and entry points on transforming care systems in different contexts. Here are 3 points worth a special mention: ✅ The paper takes an expansive and inclusive definition of care - affirming the rights, dignity and autonomy of both caregivers AND care receivers, and also care for the environment. ✅ The paper sets out five common principles to transform care systems across all contexts, regardless of the scope, size or type of intervention. These are: Human rights-based; State accountability; Universality; Transformative; and Leaving no one behind. ✅ It endorses the '5Rs' (Recognize, Reduce, Redistribute, Reward and Represent) as a common policy framework to address unpaid and paid care work, and adds a new cross-cutting policy objective on 'Resourcing' care systems, recognizing this needs greater attention. Thank you to our brilliant collaborators and co-writers in the Working Group Laura Addati, Emanuela Pozzan, Lucia Scuro, Paula Aghon, Aroa Santiago, & Asako Hattori 🌟 With thanks to UN Women's senior leadership - our Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director, and Departmental Director Sarah H.🌟 And a very special thanks to Dr Jemimah Njuki for leading the Working Group with her usual skill and feminist leadership and to my fellow UN Women co-writers Patricia Cortes & Brunella Canu 🌟

In a world facing widespread challenges, what difference can women and girls make to build a better future? What is needed for the next generation of women and girls to live healthy, fulfilled lives no matter who they are or where they are born? Responses are currently being shared through TGLF's various social media platforms, fostering a global dialogue that honors women's wisdom and visions for a more equitable and sustainable future.
