Our latest systematic review is out today in @TheLancetPH ! A collaboration between @LSHTM and @UNICEFInnocenti - we researched effective interventions that seek to prevent/respond to both #IPV and #VAC across 16 countries. Read the full paper here: thelancet.com/journals/lanpu…
Key mechanisms for effective intervention included: better communication and conflict resolution, challenging harmful gender norms, and understanding the adverse impact of IPV and VAC on children

Too many innocent Palestinian & Israeli lives have been lost, starting much before Oct 7.
Healthcare professionals & academics must be supported, not silenced, when advocating for preservation of life.
This is core to our role.

Attacks on health care in #Gaza are unacceptable.
Besides an attack on ambulances near Al Shifa hospital with at least 13 people killed and 60 injured, two further attacks were reported yesterday at Al-Quds Hospital and near the Indonesian Hospital.
The key medicine all these patients and health workers need is for this horrifying and heartbreaking situation to end.
We plead for a ceasefire and for working towards lasting peace.
.@WHO condemns the attacks on 3 November near Al-Shifa Hospital, Al-Quds Hospital, and the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza City and North Gaza governorates.

🧵👧Since the coup, I no longer go to school. I don’t believe in the current education system due to the military’s involvement and many schools in our area have soldiers living in them.
Some days I am so tired from farm work and I wish I could just go back to school.

They were once peaceful protesters, now they’re risking their lives on the battlefield…

After Mum's heart attack yesterday, I am putting this out there.
Heart Attacks present differently in Women, and if my Dad hadn't acted as quickly as he had, things may have been a very different story today.

“This is not just television – it is evidence for a future war crimes trial”
Thanks @guardian for such a wonderful 5 star review of our @C4Dispatches on #Myanmar. I agree, we must protect Channel 4, the only broadcaster attempting journalism of this kind. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…
