We survived the last pandemic. Today, the UN adopts a plan for the next one.

PPE that didn’t fit. Women on the frontline without decision-making power. The care burden that followed them home.

Preparedness that repeats this isn’t preparedness. #UNGA81 #WomenInGlobalHealth

📍Sobrevivimos a la última pandemia. Hoy la ONU adopta un plan para la próxima.

EPIs no adaptados. Mujeres en primera línea sin poder de decisión. La carga de cuidados siguió en casa.

Una preparación que repite esto no es preparación. #UNGA81 #WomenInGlobalHealth #UNGA81 @womeningh.bsky.social

Representation in global health is more than being in the room. It’s about who shapes priorities, influences decisions, and controls resources. Representation should not just change the picture. It should change who has power.
