This #IWD2025, we highlight the critical role women play in the fight against malaria! Women and children bear the heaviest burden of this disease, yet they remain underrepresented in malaria research and policy-making. Women’s contributions are invaluable, from shaping policies to groundbreaking research in laboratories. However, to mount an equitable response, we must advocate for inclusive leadership at every level. Women are vital change agents, and empowering women and girls is essential for effective malaria control. Join us in celebrating their efforts, amplify their voices, and ensure that gender biases in #malariaresearch are addressed. Together, we can forge a path toward a future where everyone—regardless of gender—can thrive in the fight against malaria. #AccelerateAction and help us build a healthier, more equitable world! #WomenInMalaria #EndMalaria #STEMInclusion #EquitableLeadership
