NEW on the site! The next in our series of country level reports dives into the evidence around #gender and equity in Antimicrobial Resistance policy in Sierra Leone. There's very little research and guidance. gearupaction.org/tools-and-re...

This study highlights that gender and equity are not adequately addressed in Indonesia’s #AMR response which is heavily hospital-centred, with most interventions focused on inpatient care. gearupaction.org/tools-and-re...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major and growing threat to public health in #Uganda, with significant implications across human, animal, and environmental sectors. Our report suggests some ways of strengthening a gendered approach gearupaction.org/tools-and-re...

New blog is now live! The WHO GLASS 2025 report shows real progress on gender in AMR surveillance, but disaggregated data is still largely absent from pathogen analyses. Without it, we can't see who's most at risk. Read more here: gearupaction.org/reflexivity-... #AMR

AMR surveillance exists, but without disaggregation by sex, age and social factors, risks stay hidden. This case study in Lao PDR, Ghana, Uganda and Tanzania uncovers masked patterns and offers practical guidance to analyse existing data. Read more here: tinyurl.com/55r4sdxf #AMR #scicomms

Behind every antibiotic-misuse stat in Nairobi’s informal settlements is a caregiver doing their best. Poverty, overstretched clinics and unaffordable meds drive partial doses, early stops and pharmacy reliance. Awareness of AMR exists - systems must change. tinyurl.com/3pfktb9w #AMR

NEW BLOG. In Nairobi's Raila settlement, women are the frontline AMR response. They are making tough decisions and caring for their families with very little knowledge of AMR or support to alter the environmental and structural factors that drive vulnerability. gearupaction.org/women-as-pri...

Gender shapes who gets sick, who seeks care, and how antibiotics are used, yet AMR research often ignores this. Case studies in Zimbabwe + Bangladesh reveal misdiagnosis, high STI rates, and gendered antibiotic risks. Equity‑focused AMR research is urgent. gearupaction.org/tools-and-re... #AMR

NEW RESEARCH: community members in Nairobi documented their own medicine use. Health decisions are deeply social; neighbours, medicines without prescriptions, treatments that stop working. Many can't access care on the terms it offers. Read more: tinyurl.com/57m4m7cm #AMR #GlobalHealth

Action on gender, equity and #AMR should include: 1. Intentional focus on communities and vulnerable people 2. The social sciences and transdisciplinary working 3. Cross-sectoral action to address structural and social inequities #WAAW

Action on AMR needs community collaboration. In Kenya's Raila Village, Kibera, we learned that communication alone won't solve AMR. This #WAAW, let's truly listen to community voices! #AMRAction

Please do read Kate's new blog on #AMR and how current research only covers the tip of the iceberg.

This new blog dives into how gender, inequality, and power influence vulnerability to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It's not just about antibiotic misuse; it's a social justice issue. Discover the interconnected roots of AMR. Read more: gearupaction.org/delving-belo... #AMR #SocialJustice

Disaggregating AMR data by sex, age & other factors is crucial to understanding who is most affected and why. It uncovers inequities and informs effective interventions. With millions at risk, it's urgent to view AMR through an intersectional lens. #PublicHealth #AMR gearupaction.org/tools-and-re...

Great new synthesis of global literature on #AMR, gender and equity. Congrats to the #GEARUp Team!

📢EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT! We are delighted to let you know that we have published a paper on our work in @natcomms.nature.com. This synthesis brings together all of our ideas on #AMR, gender and equity. Please do take a read and let us know what you think! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Gender transformative approaches empower women in livestock farming, enhancing decision-making, financial independence, and access to vaccines more than gender accommodative approaches. Discover how shifting norms benefit women and agri-food systems. tinyurl.com/a98a7az4 #scicomms

Livestock vaccines are vital for rural livelihoods in LMICs, yet women face unique barriers to access. Addressing gender norms and boosting agency can empower women in agriculture, enhancing food security and income. Discover more: tinyurl.com/3xu77k3m #GenderAndAgriculture #WomensEmpowerment

AMR affects genders differently, yet many National Action Plans fail to address this. WHO's new guidance offers 20 recommendations to make these plans gender-responsive. Discover how gender impacts exposure, access, and outcomes. gearupaction.org/tools-and-re... #GlobalHealth #EquityInHealth

🦠🌍 Antibiotic resistance differs by gender A global study of 14,000+ gut samples found women in high-income countries have 9% more antibiotic resistance genes than men. In lower-income countries, patterns flip – but context matters. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm #AMR 🧪

Widespread #AMR Staphylococcus haemolyticus clones found in premature babies across multiple UK hospitals, likely spread via patient transfers or healthcare staff. The findings highlight the importance of strict infection prevention and control in neonatal care. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🦠 The hidden threat in manure A global analysis of 4,000+ livestock samples reveal farms are teeming with antibiotic resistance genes - many with high potential to reach humans. Manure is not just fertiliser, it is a resistome hotspot. 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #AMR #SciComm 🧪
