Glad to represent @Movendi_Int at the launch of @WHO_Europe new & incredibly important report on #CDoH on #NCDs yesterday to discuss what we can (and must) do to prevent the tremendous harm caused by Big Industries on our health and planet.
People over profit - always. – at Brussels, Belgium

📢 Landmark new report: Commercial Determinants of NCDs 📢
Chronic diseases account for 90% of deaths in the Region. New research highlights how big industries fuel them, obstructing health policy and targeting the vulnerable.

This Wednesday, join us for a 12-hour vigil as family, friends, and colleagues stand together in support of EU staff member Johan Floderus, who is unjustly held hostage in Iran since 17 April 2022.
Throughout the day we will show our solidarity and support for Johan’s case and call for the respect of his fundamental rights. There will be speeches from high-ranking EU officials in the morning, as well as musical breaks throughout the day, as we sing a song written especially for the occasion.
The speeches are scheduled to occur outside the Gare Europe from 07:30 to 09:30, dependent on the weather. Following this, we will transition indoors to the Gare Europe to proceed with the 12-hour vigil.
Join us as we stand in solidarity, demand justice and send a clear message that we will not remain silent in the face of injustice. Together we can make a difference. #FreeJohanFloderus
Important: Please be aware that there may be disruptions caused by the Special European Council meeting, so we advise avoiding the Schuman area when traveling to our event.
RSVP and learn more on our website: freejohanfloderus.org/events…

🥳 Hosting an office-party? Yesterday our team member contributed to a dynamic conversation on work parties & alcohol norms.
✨ Alongside an amazing panel, they discussed inclusivity, challenging norms, and making office parties more enjoyable for everyone!
#AlcoholNorm – at Stockholm, Sweden
Had the chance to speak at #GAPC2023 🌞 Spoke about alcohol as an obstacle to achieving 14 of the 17 #SDGs and how the alcohol industry’s products & practices has negative impacts far beyond health - but highly negatively impacts economic, social & environmental development 🌍 – at Cape Town, South Africa
Yesterday our president, @KristinSperkova, and our team-member, @RunaNeely, presented in the session alcohol policy to achieve SDGS at #GAPC2023

“Alcohol is a colonial tool with devastating effects”
Amazing presentation by K. Maynard & C. Bruce on indigenous rights & alcohol policies in NZ, and how Māori experience a disproportionate amount of alcohol-related harm & how alcohol helped to facilitate land alienation… – at Cape Town, South Africa
❤️🔥 Bongi Ndondo strong opening speaking the truth about all the things that made me interested in alcohol policy in the first place; gender-based violence & alcohol and #BigAlcohol unethical interference all over the world but increasingly in low-income countries #GAPC2023 – at Cape Town, South Africa
❤️🔥 Ndondo brining attention to #BigAlcohol aggressive expansion in low income countries & the normalization of industry interference in public health-the reality is that the industry details safeguarding of public health, causes huge social harm & exploitation of women #GAPC2023 – at Cape Town, South Africa
So glad to join lovely Rosemary Leaver, Paula Leonard & Dr. Jim Cambridge at the @WHO_Europe side event at #GAPC2023, “People Before Profits” discussing how to harness the power of communities, youth, researchers & people w/lived experience 🌞
Happy to represent @Movendi_Int 🫶🏻 – at Cape Town, South Africa
So happy to be participating in the @EU_COCREATE conference!

Tomorrow our teammate @RunaNeely will be participating in a panel discussion on digital marketing of unhealthy products, focusing on alcohol marketing - you can join the conference virtually and be part of the conversation!

🌻 273 days later & my #Fulbright research period has come to an end & so has my time in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
To je to, gotovo!
30+ in depth interviews later (& very very many more hours of transcribing) I’ve learned so much I don’t even know where to begin to process it all
🌻 I’ve said it many times but I’m so so thankful for all the politicians, activists, civil society sector & IC community who have taken the time of their day to speak w/ me & contribute to the research ✨ – at Bosnia and Herzegovina
🌻 A special thank you to @DamirKapidzic & @Fondacija_CURE for all the guidance and support along the way! And of course to my colleague @CeMurtagh for the amazing teamwork thus far and yet to come.
Now more work awaits and I’m excited to see these articles come to life ✍🏼 – at Bosnia and Herzegovina
