Tomorrow is #WorldRefugeeDay. The right to seek safety includes the right to safe care. Migrant & refugee communities face real barriers to accessing #antibiotics, fuelling inequity and antibiotic resistance. Two years of GSL + WHO evidence, in one place 👇 🔗 bit.ly/4oHpOkv

GSL's Andy Bulabula joined 20+ advocates, academics, and policymakers at a national tobacco control roundtable hosted by @ashcanada.bsky.social at the @heartinstitute.bsky.social. Read more about GSL's role and what came out of the roundtable: www.globalstrategylab.org/gsls-andy-bu...

As the world implements the updated Global Action Plan on #AMR, our team has been researching how the new objective on #OneHealth governance can work in practice. Coordination alone isn't enough. #OneHealth governance matters too: bit.ly/43CO9OP

We spent a lot of time on this research 🥺💌 The least you can do is subscribe to our newsletter 🙏 ➡️ www.globalstrategylab.org/newsletter/

We can't improve what we don’t evaluate. Two-thirds of all antimicrobials are used in production animals, yet almost none of the policies meant to reduce that use are ever evaluated. Our new One Health commentary lays out a smarter path forward. ➡️ bit.ly/4exyXIO #AMR #OneHealth #HealthPolicy

A new GSL-led @who.int Bulletin systematic review finds that when bans, restrictions & stewardship policies are in place, antimicrobial use drops 20–80%. This study revealed not only what works, but also where evidence gaps exist. Read here: bit.ly/43WShsS #AMR

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

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
