Together for health. Stand with science. GSL advises governments & public health organizations on designing laws, policies, and institutions for a healthier world, recognizing that health is interconnected across people, animals, and the environment through a #OneHealth approach. #WorldHealthDay

Our scoping review found women may rely on informal remedies while men/senior family members control decisions. Greater workforce participation can increase autonomy and improve health. Read the Summary: www.globalstrategylab.org/resources/su... #IWD2026#GSLdata

UTIs, MDR-TB & STIs are heavily stigmatized, limiting care for women & men who have sex with men. Sexual violence raises the risk of drug-resistant STIs. Tackling AMR means addressing stigma & gender inequities. Read our publication: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #IWD2026 #GSLdata

Gender norms influence tobacco use & policy responses. Join us on April 22 to explore how gender-responsive strategies can strengthen tobacco control worldwide. Register: bit.ly/4sSmzrj #TobaccoControl #WNTD2026 @yuglobalhealth.bsky.social @ashorguk.bsky.social @smokefreejo, @cewhca

Although most countries have national action plans on AMR, 86% overlook how gender shapes health outcomes. To help close this gap, @who.int with support from GSL, developed 20 evidence-informed recommendations for gender-responsive AMR policies. Learn More: www.globalstrategylab.org/projects/gui...

Did you know harmful gender shape society and impact health outcomes? Our scoping review found that boys receive preferential access to food and healthcare, leaving women and girls vulnerable with fewer treatment options. #IWD2026 #GSLdata Read the Publication: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This research reveals that many studies focus on biological differences between men and women while missing deeper social and cultural factors. These evidence gaps can lead to less equitable policies. 🔎➡️ bit.ly/4dHxw8L #IWD2026 #GSLdata

Gender norms influence exposure to antimicrobial resistance, but are often overlooked in #AMR research. We partnered with @ilri.org to develop a framework to enhance gender-responsive research within livestock systems: www.globalstrategylab.org/projects/enh... #IWD2026 #GSLdata

The year is 2046. Vaccine access is within reach even in remote communities. Antibiotics in livestock systems are used responsibly. But it wasn’t always this way. Illustrated by Phoebe Ouma, in collaboration with @woahglobal.bsky.social & @ilri.org Coming April 2026. ✉️ bit.ly/4ckigA5 #IWD2026

Smoking rates in Canada have declined. But the full picture is more complex. Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey shows some girls are starting to smoke earlier, shaped by income, education & social context. Better gender-disaggregated data = better policy. Learn more: bit.ly/4l2wJmq

Curious about how research shapes real-world decisions? GSL is #hiring 4 York University undergrads through the RAY program this summer. Learn more: bit.ly/3j5EHMk

Smoking isn’t one-size-fits-all. Social norms, economic realities & unequal access to cessation support shape who smokes. At GSL, we’re building a global gender-disaggregated database on cigarette smoking to support more equitable policy. Learn more 📊 bit.ly/4l2wJmq #IWD

Data is power. But only when it represents all of us. This month of March, for #IWD2026, we’ll be sharing findings from our work across GSL. We’ll explore what happens when gender is overlooked in global health policy, and what it takes to change that. #GSLdata

Dr. Joss Reimer has been appointed Canada's next Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO). One way the CPHO & her provincial colleagues establish public credibility is through their training and experience. She is well-regarded in the medical community & has extensive public health experience. Good start.
