If you'd like good standing tickets for #GlyndebourneOpera, call the box office for returns as they're not advertised online - sadly we can't go. Available: Red Upper Circle Standing 23 & 24 for Barber of Seville (Nov 7) and Marriage of Figaro (Nov 8).
What a brilliant production of #lordoftheflies. Thank you #BBC. The Benjamin Brittan/ Brittan-inspired soundtrack is particularly perfect. Cinematography, acting, direction all superb.

🚨 Child marriage is a human rights violation that puts millions of girls at risk of:
❌ Violence

❌ Poor mental health
❌ HIV & STIs
Every girl deserves health, education & a future

Trends in maternal mortality: 2000 to 2023 is now out.
The report shows fragile progress has been made, but still too many women are dying of preventable causes. Nearly all in low and middle income countries.

📢 New study on causes of maternal deaths:
Severe bleeding (haemorrhage) and hypertensive disorders like preeclampsia are the leading causes of maternal deaths, together claiming around 130,000 lives worldwide in 2020.
Tragically, too many women lack access to lifesaving treatments and quality care during pregnancy and childbirth. These deaths are preventable—urgent action is needed to ensure every woman can access safe, high-quality maternity services that save lives and protect health.

A new commentary explores how geopolitical shifts & policy decisions are eroding trust in global health & undermining SRHR.
We need stronger multilateralism, evidence-based policymaking & diversified funding to ensure equitable access to care.
