Together for health. Stand with science.
GSL advises governments & public health organizations on designing laws, policies, and institutions for a healthier world, recognizing that health is interconnected across people, animals, and the environment through a #OneHealth approach.

Our scoping review found women may rely on informal remedies while men/senior family members control decisions. Greater workforce participation can increase autonomy and improve health.

UTIs, MDR-TB & STIs are heavily stigmatized, limiting care for women & men who have sex with men. Sexual violence raises the risk of drug-resistant STIs. Tackling AMR means addressing stigma & gender inequities.

Although most countries have national action plans on AMR, 86% overlook how gender shapes health outcomes. To help close this gap, @who.int with support from GSL, developed 20 evidence-informed recommendations for gender-responsive AMR policies.

Did you know harmful gender shape society and impact health outcomes?
Our scoping review found that boys receive preferential access to food and healthcare, leaving women and girls vulnerable with fewer treatment options.

This research reveals that many studies focus on biological differences between men and women while missing deeper social and cultural factors. These evidence gaps can lead to less equitable policies. 🔎➡️ bit.ly/4dHxw8L
#IWD2026 #GSLdata
Gender norms influence exposure to antimicrobial resistance, but are often overlooked in #AMR research.
We partnered with @ilri.org to develop a framework to enhance gender-responsive research within livestock systems: www.globalstrategylab.org/projects/enh... #IWD2026 #GSLdata
The year is 2046.
Vaccine access is within reach even in remote communities.
Antibiotics in livestock systems are used responsibly.
But it wasn’t always this way.
Illustrated by Phoebe Ouma, in collaboration with @woahglobal.bsky.social & @ilri.org
Coming April 2026.

Smoking rates in Canada have declined. But the full picture is more complex. Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey shows some girls are starting to smoke earlier, shaped by income, education & social context.
Better gender-disaggregated data = better policy.

Smoking isn’t one-size-fits-all. Social norms, economic realities & unequal access to cessation support shape who smokes.
At GSL, we’re building a global gender-disaggregated database on cigarette smoking to support more equitable policy. Learn more 📊 bit.ly/4l2wJmq #IWD
Data is power. But only when it represents all of us.
This month of March, for #IWD2026, we’ll be sharing findings from our work across GSL. We’ll explore what happens when gender is overlooked in global health policy, and what it takes to change that.

Dr. Joss Reimer has been appointed Canada's next Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO).
One way the CPHO & her provincial colleagues establish public credibility is through their training and experience. She is well-regarded in the medical community & has extensive public health experience. Good start.
📣 The Research at York (RAY) positions are now available!
Are you an undergraduate student at York University?
GSL is #hiring RAY Assistants.

Funding gaps, shifting partnerships & corporate influence are reshaping the global health architecture.
In this seminar, Dr. Tracey Wagner-Rizvi explores how these dynamics affect WHO initiatives and what can be done to protect the public interest and common good ➡️ www.yorku.ca/dighr/recap-...
Join us on #UnpackingAMR as we explore how art & storytelling can complement evidence-informed policymaking. Through initiatives like the ART x AMR project, artists around the globe are transforming lived experiences into interactive stories that engage both the public & policymakers. bit.ly/4rDyubJ
Our newly published global rapid scoping review in BMC Globalization and Health collects evidence on how systematic, social and financial barriers play a role in antibiotic access and use among migrant and refugee populations.

Antibiotic resistance is a One Health challenge spanning humans, animals, and the environment. But how well do current stewardship policies reflect this in practice?
This scoping review maps policy interventions and reveals where One Health is taking shape and where gaps remain.

No country or individual can tackle #AMR alone. 🌍 💊 This is where the SAFE AMR Partnership comes in. World-leading social science research centres have come together to develop sustainable, acceptable, fair, and effective strategies to address AMR ➡️ bit.ly/4bASVkT
It’s been 10 years since the first Global Action Plan on #AMR, and the GAP is being revised for 2026. Our commentary in the @whobulletin.bsky.social argues that effectively addressing AMR means moving beyond a biomedical lens to include social science perspectives: bit.ly/4qE2IuP
