Despite making up half of the world’s population, women only account for about 34% of clinical trial participants. The NIH’s inclusion policy has helped turn things around, but low female participation persists. A recent article from clinical leader highlights 5 easy steps trials designers can take to better serve women. They include: - Leveraging technology to reduce participation barriers - Integrating women’s voices into trial design - Using data to reduce racial disparities - Creating new protocols for integrating pregnant women into trials - Investing in new approaches to improve our understanding of how drugs impact women Have you tried any different approaches?

Don't Miss Out: The Global Dialogue on Technology Kicks Off Tomorrow! United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in partnership with the Governments of Luxembourg and The Bahamas, will launch the Global Dialogue on Technology tomorrow at the UN Headquarters. This is the final installment of the three ICPD30 Global Dialogues convened to revitalize the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) agenda. The previous dialogues on demographic diversity and youth empowerment successfully brought together diverse stakeholders to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the ICPD Programme of Action and envision a more equitable future. In this future, population and development, as well as sexual and reproductive health and rights, are central to sustainable development. The Global Dialogue on Technology will convene stakeholders from governments, tech companies, healthcare industries, civil society organizations, academia and digital rights and feminist movements. They will have the opportunity to discuss themes such as the digital gender divide, technology-facilitated gender-based violence, an equitable future for AI, future innovations for inclusive development, and how to best leverage the transformative power of technology to advance women's health, rights, and choices, provided that potential harm and risks are minimized. We hope this dialogue will spark transformative ideas, new partnerships, and innovative ways to implement the ICPD30 Programme of Action in today's technology-driven world. If this dialogue interests you, you can watch the first day's sessions online, available in English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, and International Sign Language. Thank you to our co-hosts Luxembourg and The Bahamas, as well as our co-sponsors, USAID and Iceland.

🌟 Happy International Women's Day #IWD2024🌟 There are a lot of touching stories of success being shared across social media today. Let's celebrate this! ... but our work is not done! Let's also remember that there is still a lot of work to be done to advance Women's Rights in #healthcare... and an onus on women leaders in healthcare to be advocates and leader toward health equity. On this International Women's Day, let's take a moment to reflect on the crucial strides needed to promote women's rights in healthcare and address gender inequalities prevalent in medical science and patient care. 💜 In 2020, Angela H.E.M. Maas wrote an insightful article published in Maturitas (2020 Jun; 136: 22–24) called "Empower Women in Healthcare to move Women’s Health forward." Maas emphasizes that historically, medical science and patient care have predominantly focused on male patients, leading to delayed and sometimes misdiagnosed health issues in women. Her research findings indicate that despite women living longer, they experience more unhealthy years due to barriers in accessing quality healthcare services. Socio-cultural factors further compound these challenges, impacting women's health, wellbeing, and disease outcomes differently than men. Moreover, Maas underscores the disproportionate burden of non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular diseases (CVD) on women, exacerbated by gender disparities in healthcare access and treatment. The article stresses the importance of gender equality and equal rights for women in healthcare leadership positions to address these disparities effectively. By empowering women in healthcare and recognizing the value of female values such as creativity, empathy, and mutual connection, we can elevate women's health on the global agenda. This International Women's Day, let's commit to advocating for policies that prioritize gender equity and investing in comprehensive healthcare services for women, ensuring that every woman receives the quality care she deserves. #InternationalWomensDay #GenderEquity #HealthcareForAll #womensrights [Reference] Maas, A. H. E. M. (2020). Empower Women in Healthcare to move Women’s Health forward. Maturitas, 136, 22–24. doi: 10.1016/j.maturitas.2020.04.001
