#HappeningNow Is Data Sexist? Questions (and Answers) about Advancing Gender Data #SIDUSConference
Nisha Singh: I think data reflects a lot of the biases that society has. Not only is data sexist but sometimes when it's simplified, it can render people vulnerable by the label used.
Ryan Ubuntu Olson: as much as I respect data, it's not everything. I like to think of gender data as a prism, it's multi-faceted and gives us a better understanding of situations.

“We must couple agricultural credit with our programming as an unintended consequence of climate change is a larger gap between higher capacity farmers with credit and cash reserves versus smaller scale farmers who don’t have the same economic capabilities.”

#HappeningNow Uprooted: Forced Migration in an Unstable World #SIDUSConference

Thank you to @Chemonics for sponsoring this event!
“Most commonly, conflict instability and economic insecurity have been the driving push factors that we see in Syria, Afghanistan, and Ukraine.” – Anna Slother
“While each conflict has been different, a similar level of basic services is needed in the immediate term followed by a longer term plan for relocation and, ideally, integration. For example, in Colombia, that’s what we’re seeing happen for Venezuelan migrants.” – Anna Slother Image

#HappeningNow Challenges and Opportunities to Achieve Greater Health Equity in Healthy Systems with @katebuntingdc @NFBilimoria @jenkatesdc
@jenkatesdc "Equity is not about equality, it's about ensuring that everyone has the same ability to access the same things. Equity requires work to get there." Image
@NFBilimoria "I think we can actually use a lot of the interventions we've learned from COVID response to be usable towards other important health activities."
