Welcome news! Read the joint statement about Gambia's decision to uphold its ban on #FGM by @DrTedros with @unicefchief @Atayeshe @unwomenchief @volker_turk. “Together we must not rest until we ensure that all girls and women can live free from violence and harmful practices."
The #Gambia’s decision to uphold its ban on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a critical win for girls’ and women’s rights. We must not rest until we ensure that all girls and women everywhere can live free from violence and harmful practices and that their rights, bodily integrity, and dignity are upheld. My joint statement with @unicefchief, @Atayeshe, @unwomenchief and @volker_turk: who.int/news/item/15-07-2024…

Physicians' autonomy doesn't mean they can pick and choose patients. It's about their authority to introduce medically and professionally sound options within ethical bounds. The public then chooses among these options. #physician #autonomy

A project that we conducted on bioethics literature related to the COVID-19 pandemic provides concrete evidence of epistemic injustice in global health ethics. I presented a part of the results at #AABHL 2023. #covid19pandemic #epistemicinjustice #bioethics

I had the privilege of addressing the issue of cultural diversity and ethical relativity at the Oxford Global Health and Bioethics International Conference. A substantial question is about the extent to which we should respect particular cultures? #Bioethics #CulturalDiversity
