We’re pleased to release episode one of our podcast, Global Order with
@Winnie_Byanyima on democracy in an age of crisis.

If vulnerability is shaped by inequality, what would it take to protect the people most often left behind? Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and click follow for a new conversation every week.
Who gets sick, who survives, who provides the care, whose needs come first — all shaped by inequalities that already exist. @drtlaleng and @MMKavanagh look at Ebola through an intersectional, human rights lens: gender, race, poverty, disability.
Episode three of Global Order is out: Ebola, Gender, and Crisis, with Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health. Pandemics don't affect everyone equally — Ebola has made that painfully clear. Listen: open.spotify.com/show/3UVX9x…

Patricia survived cryptococcal meningitis, but still lives with its consequences: the loss of her sight.
This disease is preventable & treatable, yet it remains one of the leading causes of death among people living with advanced HIV.

Our director and Global Council member @MMKavanagh participated in this high-level convening.
Participants shared solutions for health sovereignty within Africa through stronger regional manufacturing, increased market access, regulatory cooperation and political leadership.
Last week on the sidelines of #UNGA81, UNAIDS, the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS and Pandemics, and other partners convened African ministers, government leaders, and the private sector on strengthening regional production of frontier AIDS and pandemic health technologies.

📌2.4m were never diagnosed.
📌Rapid tests take 30 minutes and cost $2.60.

A pandemic demands widespread equitable access to vaccines, medicines and diagnostics. COVID-19 showed us how far we are from delivering it.
Listen to Helen Clark, member of the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS and Pandemics and former Prime Minister of New Zealand, on why the rules governing intellectual property failed the world during COVID-19.
Ahead of next week’s HLM on PPPR, Member States must reaffirm a critical right: using TRIPS flexibilities to protect public health and expand access to medicines.
