UN/WHO news release: Staggering backsliding across women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health revealed in new UN analysis (2)

21 October, 2022

This report is alarming for the future wellbeing of the human race.

Health and prosperity of women and children are essential requirements of a healthy future.

Sadly man made disasters are one too many ranging from conflicts, to mismanagement of resources, afforestation, environmental pollution, use of fossil fuel, all end up having disastrous consequences for the planet �� and humanity.

Not to underestimate the misery caused by internal strifes, denial of human rights for children, adolescents and women to live in safe thriving environments.

UN and related agencies aren’t as effective as they need to be. The question that the world leaders must ask is what kind of legacy they plan to leave behind?

Do we want to listen to diverse voices from affected communities and plan for a bright future for all by investing in resources that benefit all of us? Or do we want to continue on the greedy path of conflict and denial.

Pandemics and natural disasters are our lessons and warnings. Simple prevention strategies of immunization and nutrition save millions of vulnerable lives.

Let’s work towards a bright and healthy future for every starving little girl who doesn’t get nutritious food to thrive and is denied the education that she deserves to grow and succeed along with her brothers.
