    > The work will look at deeply under-researched areas that affect hundreds of millions of women in both high- and low-income countries, from preeclampsia and gestational diabetes to heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis and menopause.

    > Investment will focus on five key areas: obstetric care and maternal immunization; maternal health and nutrition; gynaecological and menstrual health; contraceptive innovation; and sexually transmitted infection.

    This sub could use some good news for a change.

    It’s so frustrating how women’s health has been ignored for so long, like, only one percent of healthcare research funding goes to conditions like menopause or endometriosis… which is why this investment is a step forward, but we need real change. How on earth do we actually get private companies and governments to prioritize this more? I mean, really, where do we even start?

    >Gates Foundation commits $2.5 billion by 2030 to address neglected women’s health issues such as preeclampsia, menopause, and endometriosis.

    It’s just mind-blowing how long this has been going on… one percent of healthcare research funding goes toward conditions that affect half the population. I mean, when are we gonna stop letting this happen?

    no sure this is nice. but also they could end world hunger if they wanted. that would do a lot more for women’s health. I don’t want to spend any amount of time praising people who have stolen from the rest of us and give us their crumbs as charity.

    Seriously? Just tax the rich. This is NOTHING for Gates and these problems are CAUSED by the rich who then get praised for donating to charity for the issues THEY caused. Why do you think women’s health is not a priority in the first place? These patriarchal twats that can’t wring more capital out of women’s bodies once they’re done exploiting us.

    And OF COURSE the focus is reproductive health. That’s the only way women matter to these cunts… Reproductive health to churn out more cogs for their big machine.

    DON’T PRAISE THESE MOTHERFUCKERS. TAX THEM INTO NON-EXISTENCE.

    I wonder if this is in conjunction with ACOG officially announcing they are no longer accepting federal funding.

    Bills looking to get forgiveness from women for his role in the Epstein scandal. I’ll take it. women need it but I see through good ol Bill. If you ever want to see what a guilty Bill looks like, find that clip of him talking about how he just went out to dinner with Epstein.

    Then watch his ex wife talk about it. Of the two, I believe his ex. And she’s not going to leave her marriage over dinner he had with another man. Bill was up to shit with girls. He sounds guilty and every lie tell is there when he tries to stammer his explanation.

    Thanks for the gift Bill but that doesn’t make it ok.
