Investing in women’s leadership means healthier families, fairer decisions, and communities that break free from cycles of poverty. 𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛; 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛.

Let’s create systems where women’s voices are not just heard but centered in shaping a healthier and more equitable future.

Equity in health cannot exist without equity in leadership. When women lead, health systems become stronger, fairer, and more inclusive. It’s time to ensure women’s voices are not just heard but centered.

#WGHNigeria #HealthEquity #WomenInLeadership

Power gaps drive health injustices. It's time to close them.

At this year’s #UNGA, Women in Global Health is spotlighting the women who are shifting power—from frontlines to policymaking tables.

Because health equity starts with equal leadership—and the world can’t wait.

Donated breast milk saves fragile newborns when their mothers cannot provide enough, yet millions of babies still miss out due to limited access, weak infrastructure, and cultural myths.

Behind every donation is a mother’s gift of life, and behind every missed opportunity is a baby who deserved a chance. It is time to invest, expand, and normalize breast milk donation so no child is left without the nourishment they need to survive.

Across Nigeria, too many women discover conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or kidney disease only when it is already too late. In markets, schools, and rural communities, women carry the weight of households but remain the most vulnerable because healthcare feels like a luxury, not a right.

Every day, young women in Nigeria face the terrifying risk of dying while giving life. Behind the statistics are teenage girls whose futures are cut short by preventable maternal complications. This is not just a health crisis—it is a justice crisis that demands urgent action.
