The past week has been tough on our community. After the recent U.S. election, many of us are left wondering what the future will look like, especially when it comes to sexual and reproductive health and rights. The global landscape for women’s health, rights, and wellbeing may soon change, and we need to prepare for that. But in the face of ambiguity, one thing is certain: women are resilient and progress doesn't end when new challenges emerge. We’ve seen women deliver under extraordinary circumstances. We know that people across the globe will continue to flex their transformative power.
As a longstanding convener and connector, we at Women Deliver cannot and will not stand silently by. We pledge to do our part by working with advocates around the world to call for increased action and commitments to the issues we hold dear. Now more than ever, we must come together, work across sectors, and support one another.
This month, we’re spotlighting the topic of gender-based violence and harmful practices. It is one of the twelve investments that our Deliver for Good Campaign focuses on to transform our world. Explore the content below, share with others, and join us in the continued fight for girls and women.
