💸 Low wages..
🖐️ Relentless abuse..
⭕️ Even death.
The true price of fast fashion has devastated the lives of millions of garment workers.
Could new commitments from big brands provide a blueprint for addressing gender-based violence in supply chains?🧵

🚺 Promises by companies to root out violence against garment workers are a step in the right direction..
👣 But there's much further to go.

⭕️ Business models still favour short-term profit and often have poor regulations, claim @BHRRC and @asia_floorwage.
♀️ This allows conditions for systemic violence to flourish.

I didn’t think I’d be telling this story soon enough but here we have it.
Stay with me.
Stay with me.
Earlier today, my mom had me proofread a letter she had written and I had to make corrections.
Thing is, my handwriting is .. let’s say quite special and I knew I was in for a memory jog already, lol.

So, I had to re-write the thing and add my corrections. It was a formal letter, not lengthy.
As I was to hand her the sheet, I asked, will you be able to read this with your glasses or should I read it out to you?

💼 More women lost their jobs than men during the pandemic.
⏪ The @WEF called this a "she-cession" as it reversed many gains that women had made in the workplace.
⏰ It also means closing the global gender gap will now take an extra 36 years. bit.ly/3tpmGNY

💰 Women are still paid less than men for equal jobs.
🇬🇧 In the UK, women are only paid £92.10 for every £100 men earn.
🇪🇺 The pay gap is almost double that across the EU, with men earning up to 14% more than full-time female employees.

Hi everyone! It's @laurahallam29 here, taking over @georgeinstitute after @cheryl_carcel for #IWD22. I'm here to talk about my interests in promoting consideration of sex and gender in health and medical research and addressing unmet needs in women's health!
Medical devices are often not designed for, or adequately tested in women. Impact - women are more likely than men to suffer complications or device failures after common interventions like hip replacements. #AdvanceEquality #IWD22
I am currently working with @georgeinstitute's innovation team, Genovate, and the Global Women's Health Program to look at how technology has potential to address unmet needs in women's health, including how to make current technology more suitable for women.
#twittertakeover on #IWD22 Hi everyone, it’s @cheryl_carcel taking over @georgeinstitute on International Women’s Day! Will be tweeting on things I am passionate about- sex differences in CVD and brain health and representation in clinical trials!
More research is needed to study cardiovascular disease in women. It’s important to recognise the understudied signs and symptoms of heart disease and stroke in women. This can lead to timely diagnosis and early life-saving treatment. #AdvanceEquality #IWD22 @heartfoundation
Sex-Differences in Oral Anticoagulant-Related Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Important work by @HanneKChr, @LouisaMChriste1 and team. In patients with OAC-related ICH, women less likely to receive reversal agents and more likely to receive DNR orders. frontiersin.org/article/10.338…
