When crises hit, civic spaces shrink. Power shifts, and the balance of voices is disrupted. Feminist activism must adapt and resist, often stepping up to fill the gaps.

How do crises fuel gender backlash? What does this mean for health, rights, & civic space?
Our new series, Backlash, Resistance, & the Path to Justice, is a 6-part series exploring gender justice, health, & resilience across the Global South.

Research capacity strengthening works best when it’s built in from the start, not bolted on at the end. The #PACTS programme embeds RCS across every stage of research 👇

Who gets to publish shapes who gets to influence global health. High publishing fees & restrictive journal policies exclude too many. Equity in research means removing these barriers. Learn about an alternative

Important points raised by @tinamaruapula!
'Essentially... the heart of the question is how do we try to go beyond global north to global south, this unidirectional model of capacity building, how do we break down the barriers?'
@ReBUILDRPC @BerlinUAlliance @ChariteBerlin
How can we ensure training & certifications are relevant globally? @tinamaruapula highlights the importance of South-South partnerships and engaging accreditation bodies to strengthen health systems.
