Fantastic to see an entirely SOAWR panel discussion on African women's meaningful inclusion in peace processes, including on Articles 9, 10 & 11 of the #MaputoProtocol.
"We have this very progressive tool - we must use it to hold our governments accountable."

🗣️ #WPSWednesday: The #MaputoProtocol was a major milestone for #GenderEquality in #Africa “but much work must be done to ensure that the rights enshrined in the protocol are fully realised for all of Africa’s women.” - @rainasow, @MakeWomenCount. theguardian.com/global-devel…

The landmark Maputo protocol has led to huge gains in women's rights, from abortion to access to equal pay. But to go further will require political will and action. @rainasow Executive Director @MakeWomenCount.

The World must move faster towards gender equality in political decision-making.
This will require a transformation of electoral systems, political parties and parliamentary processes. – at Davos, Switzerland

En plus de ceux de la #Guinée, nous pensons aux femmes et aux filles de diverses régions du continent, voire du monde. Nous savons qu'elles sont touchées de manière disproportionnée en période de troubles politiques et largement exclues des processus politiques formels/informels.
ALT Aux femmes et aux filles qui vivent dans l'agitation politique, Nous sommes solidaires avec vous.

Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what's spent on R&D. Today, I confronted a CEO about the industry's lies, with visuals ⤵️
We were actually having a meeting on the implementation of the Maputo Protocol in Guinea when I saw this message and I shared it right away with the participants.
If only the 12 remaining countries would ratify by the 18th anniversary of the Protocol in July...
