BANISHED, Northern Region, Ghana - 2024 by Claire Thomas Fusheina, a widow and mother of five, returns to the hut where she has lived in exile for six years. She is one of hundreds of women in northern Ghana accused of witchcraft, often by their own families or communities, and forced to seek refuge in so-called “witch camps.” These women are not there by choice: most flee or are sent away because to remain in their villages would mean risking their lives. Accusations of witchcraft exist beyond the reach of formal law yet are deeply entangled with social and structural inequality. They often arise from personal disputes, jealousy, or local misfortunes, and are almost always gendered.

“Visibility carries weight.”

In our new, exclusive Representation Matters interview, photographer Claire Thomas reflects on visual justice, ethical representation & the responsibilities of images.

A graphic titled “Key Finding” states that few organisations voluntarily report pay gaps beyond gender.

Our new #ClosingTheGap report shows that while #genderpaygap reporting in the UK has driven #transparency, most organisations still fail to report on #ethnicity, disability, sexuality, or other intersecting inequalities.

Quote by Seri Wendoh, International Planned Parenthood Federation Senior Technical Advisor, featured in the 2025 Global Health 50/50 report: “In the face of growing hostility to gender equality and reproductive rights, holding the line is not enough. For organisations working across diverse and often difficult contexts, staying true to our values means rooting our work in the realities of the communities we serve, not in the shifting winds of political convenience. When the space to act narrows, we find new ways to act, to speak, and to stand with those most affected.” At the bottom of the graphic, it reads: “Read more in Holding the Line - 2025 Global Health 50/50 report.”

Our latest #Global5050 Report - #HoldingtheLine - reveals a decline in public commitments to #genderequality in #globalhealth.

Illustration of two men sitting at a bar, clinking beer bottles in a toast. Several bottles and a glass are on the bar in front of them. The background is yellow, and the figures are drawn in bold navy blue and white brushstrokes. In the bottom right corner, the Gendered Health Pathways logo is visible. The image visually represents male social drinking culture.

Men consume far more #alcohol than women worldwide — 32x more in Tunisia, 12x in Myanmar, 6x in China.

This excessive drinking, tied to masculine social norms, raises men’s risk of #hypertension.

Illustration of Peru divided into two colour-coded sections: the northern part shaded in purple with a female figure and the number "38 women", and the southern part shaded in green with a male figure and the number "100 men". Text reads: "Hypertension-related deaths among people aged 30–44 in Peru". The Gendered Health Pathways logo is in the bottom right corner.

Men face a hidden crisis in #hypertension.

In Peru, twice as many women receive treatment compared to men.

These aren’t biological differences—they’re shaped by gender norms around care-seeking and masculinity.
