💊 A life-saving medicine priced at $40,000/year isn’t saving lives—it’s protecting profits.
As #GlobalHealth budgets are slashed, access to medicine is becoming a luxury.
Health justice means affordability, equity, & putting people before patents.

New drop from The Laughing Rights.
“The Great Care Con” — because apparently $10.8 trillion in unpaid #carework is just women “helping out.”

We break down the gender pay gap, invisible labor, and economic inequality.

On #InternationalWorkersDay, a stark reminder:

📈 CEO pay rose 50% since 2019
📉 Worker wages? Up just 0.9%

That’s a 56x gap.

This isn’t progress. It’s a warning.

Land is at the heart of women’s rights in the Global South, but this year’s #CSW69 declaration fails to mention them at all.
Naomi Shadrack explains why we need to put land firmly back on the global #feminist agenda.
