A graphic card with K4DD branding. Text reads: What is health equity? And how can it be integrated to global health programmes? In the bottom left corner there is an illustration of a person holding a megaphone and pieces of paper. Text reads: Health equity is the absence of unfair, avoidable differences in health among groups of people. It is achieved when everyone can attain their full potential for health and wellbeing, and is achieved by prioritising the needs of those who are most vulnerable or marginalised. In the bottom left corner there is an illustration of a person holding a ladder. Text reads: To address the root causes of health inequities we need interdisciplinary approaches which focus on social determinants of health. Health is influenced by social factors, such as environment, jobs, education, housing, food, water and sanitation. In the bottom left corner there is an illustration of a person in a wheelchair, reading a newspaper. Text reads: Integrated, people-centred care has improved equity outcomes. Community engagement and participation, and interdisciplinary action have been seen to improve equity outcomes. Equity-oriented monitoring and evaluation is essential for assessing the progress of these approaches. In the bottom left corner is an illustration of multiple people in a circle, holding ladders, microscopes and a globe to signify collaborative working for a more equal world.

As the Protection of Civilians Week begins, we remind all parties to conflicts: respect for the rules of war isn’t optional, it’s a legal obligation. #PoCWeek2025

The world looked away from Congo’s rape crisis. She did not.
The world looked away from Congo’s rape crisis. She did not.
This year, a rebel army called M23 has captured large sections of eastern Congo, exposing women there to a familiar weapon of war: rape.

Two years on into the civil war in Sudan with ~150,000 people dead and ~13 million displaced. This is a catastrophe! Sudanese voices are being silenced. Break the global indifference #SudanCrisis #KeepEyesOnSudan

Two years into the civil war in Sudan, the scale of the killing and displacement has been as horrific as it has been underreported. The media there has been devastated.

The ability of the Kenyan state to maintain this level of violence against its populace has always been contingent on the acquiescence and support of the Western world: ⬇️
Kenya’s youth cannot stop state abductions on their own
The edifice that allows abductions to happen, from its colonial set-up to the complicity of Western actors, should be addressed and dismantled.
