“Tonight we reflect on what more we can do, whilst simultaneously celebrating the critical role women in leadership play in furthering positive change in health, conflict and climate” Kristen from Women Leaders in Health and Conflict opening tonight’s event!

Our phenomenal Chapter Leader Emma Pencheon stresses the need for change in her opening remarks: “Women make up the majority of the global health workforce, but hold a minority of senior leadership positions. WGH is working around the world to change this.”

Our first panellist Salma highlighting the moral duty we have as researchers to engage: “Women are continually stripped of opportunities to be politically and financially empowered. We must work to bridge the gap between theory & practice”

Excellent start to Women in Global Health UK & Women Leaders in Health and Conflict of R4HSSS event King's College London Important words from Salma of Oxford Syria Society about #climate impacts disproportionately affecting women & importance of women’s leadership in #conflict settings

Brilliant to have insights from 🌼Aleida Borges🌼 at tonight’s event: “How are we going to achieve climate justice when the people that should be at the table, those disproportionately affected by these issues, are not there? Women’s experiences must be reflected in decisions.”

Sobering thoughts from Alicia Herbert OBE shared this evening: “We are definitely seeing an attack on women and girls and it is almost hiding in plain sight, at every level. None of this is new but what is new is how emboldened and vociferous this is.” But there are ways ahead…

Great to hear 🌼Aleida Borges🌼 from King's College London discussing her experiences of working with #grassroots woman’s movements in Malawi & elsewhere Women in Global Health UK R4HSSS Health Professionals for Global Health

Powerful statements from Alicia Herbert OBE on importance of evidence around #gender & health / need for more inclusive political & social systems to overcome structural barriers / the need to go beyond #humanitarian response alone to achieve transformational change Women in Global Health UK R4HSSS

3 powerful tools for change from @AliciaH_ 1. Stand Up: Unapologetically champion the rights of women & girls wherever we are. 2. Collaborate: Work together & coordinate our efforts. 3. Support: Spend every £ we can in a way that positively impacts women.
